Nice. I am looking forward to part 2 of this with the truncata crosses. I agree with the other comment. Some of these presented are out of stock. Hope some come into size to be for sale again. And I too am interested in maxima x ventricosa as it is the reverse cross of red leopard.
The listings on our website currently serve a dual purpose as both sales listings and sort of encyclopedia entries, so a lot of them will be out of stock. This is especially true of our oldest/largest crosses - by the time our select clones reach this size we've already sold most of the sales stock. The next video will feature most of the greges that are currently for sale. As for N. Maiden of Victory, those 6 or 7 plants are all that was produced from that first set. Hopefully we will be able to re-make N. Maiden of Victory again soon, but the N. maxima we call "Maiden" only flowers every few years for us.
Amazing plants.
How do you mix the plants together?
You guys gotta try Miranda x Ventrata
or the other way
The common garden center Miranda is a male, and the "Alata" is a female. We have flowered both multiple times, and they have always been sterile.
The Maxima x ventricosa red is interesting given I have N. x 'Red Leopard' EP which is Maxima x ventricosa. I noticed you showed some which are out of stock on your site. Any idea when you're going to be updating the in house hybrids listings?
A lot of the house made crosses are going to be out of stock, as the listings also serve as informational entries about our breeding program. We update our website stock 2 or 3 times per week, rather than scheduling and announcing inventory updates as a marketing ploy, so you can always use the "email when back in stock" button to get an alert if something comes back in stock, or just check in periodically.
As for N. Maiden of Victory, unless N. "Maiden" flowers again soon we're going to have to wait until the select clones flower, and then we can take cuttings. Since we've never flowered N. Maiden of Victory it's hard to say how long that will be.
got it, thanks!
Also, I really appreciate the regular stock updates instead of waiting months at a time and doing the announcement stuff. :)
Do you fill the pitchers up with water?
No. They do that themselves.
That 2nd densiflora x talangensis pitcher is really nice
