Nepenthes (ventricosa x sibuyanensis)
​x flava 
EP

A cross I fell in love with the first time I saw it! Distinctive cone-shaped pitchers with nearly flat peristomes!

Crazy shaped uppers! Lime green with a tabletop flat pitcher opening! November 2020

This cutting is over a foot long! Wow! November 2020
I received my HUGE rooted cutting from the Fall 2020 Exotica Plants import by RedLeaf Exotics in November 2020. This cutting is over a foot tall and came with two large uppers! Hoping I get basal shoots soon and can see the lovely purple lowers!

This was my very first experience importing from Australia and it was very exciting and fun! 
Update December 2020

Finally inflating a few new pitchers!
