Oh! How we've grown!

Took some new pics today of my Nepenthes plants: 


Nepenthes Burkei 

My Nepenthes Burkei (Tropical Pitcher plant) is growing fast and pitching like crazy! First pic taken today and second pic was taken on 10.8.2018. Soon it'll need a larger pot! Thank you https://predatoryplants.com/

Nepenthes Ventricosa 

My Nepenthes Ventricosa is growing fast and pitching like crazy. Pic 1 taken today and pic 2 taken on 9.23.2018.  Yes this newest pitcher is nearly 5" long. They are so hardy and forgiving. I've repotted it once already and may have to upgrade again by Summer. Thank you   https://predatoryplants.com/

Anatomy of the Nepenthes

Below is a picture of the anatomy of the Nepenthes (Tropical Pitcher plant)

Hybrid: Nepenthes Sanguinea "Red" x (Densiflora x Robcantleyi)

Some have spurs on the back of the "neck". This hybrid does not. However, it has beautiful red stripes on its peristome.
