Hi Trent,

Did you really mean N. alata X N. Ventrata, or is it N. alata X N.
ventricosa? How would one tell the difference between those two
hybrids?

Either way, it's a great plant. It was my first Nepenthes and grew on
my windowsill in Michigan for several years. When I moved to North
Carolina, it was too big to pack in the car, so I took a small cutting.
Six months later, the cutting is fully rooted and producing pitchers on
my new windowsill :-)

What is it about the DeRoose nursery that makes them incapable of
labeling correctly?

cheers,
Nick
