Me + Wavy-Leaf Nepenthes maxima 🌿 Got up close wi Me + Wavy-Leaf Nepenthes maxima 🌿

Got up close with this stunning wavy-leaf Nepenthes maxima and couldn’t help but admire how those undulating leaf margins give every pitcher a sculptural, almost artistic vibe — and yes, I’m bringing one of these with me to @plantmaniaexpo  from last year’s Borneo Exotics import!

📸 Shot at @robcantley in Sri Lanka, where so many of our favorite Nepenthes come from — and where this particular plant first caught my eye.

Checking N. villosa × veitchii’s Latest Meal 👀🌿 C Checking N. villosa × veitchii’s Latest Meal 👀🌿

Caught myself looking way too closely into this Nepenthes villosa × veitchii “Gold Rush” — solid peristome: BE‑4606 to see what its latest meal might’ve been! Those thick, golden peristome ridges and lush pitcher interior make every trap look ready for action.

Hanging out with this Nepenthes (veitchii × platychila) × veitchii — best selected clone: BE-4623 is a reminder of why I love carnivorous plants so much. This standout hybrid combines the bold, striped peristome traits of N. veitchii with the elegant influence of N. platychila, and this selected clone shows exceptional form and promise as it matures.

Nepenthes × trusmadiensis × robcantleyi BE‑4022 🌿 Nepenthes × trusmadiensis × robcantleyi BE‑4022 🌿

This hybrid blends the impressive heritage of Nepenthes × trusmadiensis with the powerful, dark‑colored pitchers and broad flared peristome of Nepenthes robcantleyi. The result? Expect bold, potentially large pitchers with a dramatic mix of form, texture, and coloration — a standout addition for any serious Nepenthes collection.

📸 Photo taken during my visit to Borneo Exotics in Sri Lanka, where we source many of our rare and exotic Nepenthes.

🌱 Because of cold weather right now, elevated shipping costs, and our need to balance work and life — we’re holding off on shipping until March. For now, we’re focusing on local North Carolina events.

Wrangling Nepenthes spectabilis 🌿 Working with Ne Wrangling Nepenthes spectabilis 🌿

Working with Nepenthes spectabilis is always an adventure! This highland species produces elegant, upright pitchers with unique shapes and strong color — a standout in any collection. You never know exactly how the traps will form, which makes every plant a little different and exciting. And sometimes, they just don’t understand that they needed to look at the camera! 😄
