Nepenthes ventricosa x tiveyi HC A

Tropical pitcher plant

My most sought after of my four clones, and one of two known females currently. This cross can get large, leaves up to a foot long and vines several feet in length at maturity; lower pitchers can reach 5-6 inches tall and are broadly cylindric to slightly hourglass-shaped, topped with a nearly flat mouth ringed in a broad, heavily scalloped peristome. The pitcher body is cream to pale red mottled with raspberry red blotches, and the peristome is a striking candy-striped crimson and yellow, sometimes with a sunset blush light to dark from inner edge to outer. Upper pitchers are slightly smaller, broadly funnel-shaped and paler overall but with similar pattern.Only one rooted cutting currently available, new leaf rosette approx. 5 inches in diameter.
