A gorgeous and vigorous form of ventricosa, I can't wait for the characteristic hourglass pitchers to start forming! AND it's a female!

From Todd's Tropicals Ebay Listing: "Nepenthes ventricosa is my favorite Nepenthes species and I grow several forms, from typical to Madja-As to two different 'porcelain' forms, as well as several different related species like burkei and sibuyanensis. Of all those, Nepenthes ventricosa (k) is my favorite. It was created as a cross between two different ventricosa forms by Geoff Mansell of Exotica Plants. It's an incredibly easy and vigorous grower, with large, colorful and extremely ventricose or waisted pitchers. Pitchers are produced in abundance and last a lonnnnggg time, giving you a plant that is dripping in pitchers."
