Looks like my female "boschiana" and male "sanguinea "red" × spectabilis" are blooming. Any interest in more Nepenthe seeds?

Anyone have any luck with the last Nepenthe seeds?

This cross would be great! A nice a colorful flared upper combined with a stripy lower. *chefs kiss. There’s also another member on this forum that’s about to have their first male flower that would also make an absolutely splendiferous cross. You should look into that too

Haven’t gotten any plants from the last seed pods, so interested in trying some of these. Let me know… thanks

looks like this is not going to line up, the male is almost done and the boschiana female bloom spike is 22 inches and still growing.

You can collect the pollen, dry it out, and freeze it, then apply to the female flower later. Just throwing out options.

If it works out I wouldn’t mind a pinch of the seeds!

If i think it works ill send it to the seed bank. I don't think my last cross was viable so i vote for the next one to be a bonus.

If you'd like it to be a bonus, we can definitely do that. Nep seeds seem to move more quickly that way.
Good luck.
