Rich,
Favorite Nepenthes hybrids, boy thats all going to depend on the individual.
I have a tendacy towards plants that show traits of a flared peristome and
good dark color. N. maxima x veitchii, N. maxima x spathulata, N. x rokko x
veitchii all show these but the parents are basically the same. Several
crosses done with N. ventracosa have turned out to be very unique for example,
N. ventracosa x globamaphora with its fat peristome and deep red pitcher along
with N. ventracosa x sp.Talang [bongso x carunculata] with its almost round
tubby pitchers and red peristome.
Several N. bical crosses that were done show very favorable traits. N. bical x
rokko3 x thorelli aglow koto that was done by Leo Song had the male parent
selected for its shrubby appearance and always flared dark red peristome.
Preliminary growth of this plant shows one shrubby striped peristome plant
with fangs. There are alot more out there, maybe someday there will be a
key for them. Oh if this N. madagascarensis that you asked is the one from
TC thats been around I have seen good growth results as a lowlander.
Truly,
