Looking forward to WEIRD slanted mouths on this one!

I'm SO excited for this particular hybrid! The only image I could find of an adult truncata x tentaculata hybrid was at RedLeaf Exotics, which I think was originally from Exotica Plants. The super tall thin pitcher combined with the strange slanted pitcher opening and flared peristome look SO awesome to me! I think the cross by Predatory Plants will be even better and have greater vigor and more red coloration!

From Predatory Plants: "We've crossed our classic Nepenthes truncata "Titan" with a very odd, speckled N. tentaculata that we suspect may be an introgressed hybrid with N. glabrata. In any case, we've got a lot of this hybrid on the way, and the small plants are just starting to color up. Great time to get the first few released!"
