Neps in Thailand

[shawnintland]

Here are some photos of neps I'm growing in Thailand. The majority of these are Thai-bred hybrids. Despite our scorching hot weather of the last 2 months they all seem happy enough! (Yes, I recognize the "Thorelii" hybrids are not real Thorelii, that's why I use the " " marks).

First a few variations of seed grown 'Tiger' x khasiana. Getting a lot of stunning red coloration in these;

Thanks guys1

Antonio L - yes, the amp crosses often end up looking a bit hookeriana-ish! It is fun to see how each separate seed-grown plant differs from its brothers and sisters...one showing traits of Mom the next more like Dad!

yumcatz - the kuchinensis x miranda is mostly just 'showing' the kuch side of things...as you said, "maybe when it gets older"!

dontknowwhy - it seems the vast majority of my seedling plants are Red, either leaves or pitchers or both! I sure don't mind it!
