Nepenthes gracilis, a clone I’ve nicknamed “Shadow.” A widespread and variable species found throughout much of Southeast Asia, typically producing small pitchers on long tangled vines. This one originated from Bornean parentage, and is one of the coveted “black” variants; lower pitchers get deep purple to almost black, spotted with a couple shades of lighter purple that make a dappled shadowy appearance, and even the leaves flush with purple. Uppers like this image are paler, but still that mottled purple-black color overall.

Nepenthes sumatrana
A giant from a restricted range on the western coast of Sumatra, capable of making chunky ovoid lower pitchers the size of a football, and upper pitchers that are trumpet-shaped and can exceed 15 inches in height. Best known for its flashy candy-striped peristome, this species inhabits primarily shady forest margins in spots where other pitchers can’t quite compete due to the lower light levels and sometimes stifling humidity.

Newly opened pitcher on Nepenthes platychila x robcantleyi. Uppers are perfectly funnel shaped and develop these massive flaring lips…though they only stay flared for a short while before folding back around the sides of the mouth. Though stripes sometimes form my plant stays pretty green overall; others may develop more color.

Been messing with loom beading, these are my first three projects! Lessons were learned lol. Pictured: Three bracelet-sized bands of beading. The farthest from camera is out of focus, with a vaguely festive green and red patters and a wave to it, like wrinkled fabric. The middle band is less wrinkly, with a cross stitch like pattern- a red heart in the middle flanked by simple flowers of different colors. The closest band is not at all wrinkly, and is blue with a heavily stylized bird. The bird is outlined in black with a yellow to orange, sunset like gradient in the wings and tail. I was told by my beading teacher that it is a historic Native American pattern of a diving loon.
My first historic tablet weaving in progress, the simplest Oseberg pattern. One day I’ll get brave and do the complicated ones! Pictured: Close up of a narrow band weaving in progress hooked around a wooden loom peg. The pattern is simple and slightly asymmetrical, with repeating white parallelograms inside a plum colored stripe that’s just off center.
My first nepenthes, x Briggsiana, who is doing wonderfully and has been joined by a small gaggle of other neps that tolerate household humidity. I was lucky this was my gateway plant; it survived my beginner mistakes and I adore the dark color and wide peristome! Pictured: Three cheerful, fresh, dark red pitchers with slightly flared mouths hanging next to each other.
Brotchen, a long-haired tabby cat, intercepted the towels I was supposed to be folding. Pictured looking soulfully into the camera with her chin on some bunched towels. She knows how to pose!

Nepenthes leonardoi, a rare ultra-endemic species of pitcher plant from the mountains of Palawan, Philippines. All-black clones seen in the wild made headlines, as did the naming of the plant after a prominent botanist in the region who was unfortunately shot while surveying plants by a militia group. Pitchers can reach almost 6 inches tall, with prominent teeth.

My four seedgrown Cephalotus follicularis, Australian Pitcher Plant. A carnivore completely unrelated to all others worldwide (it’s related to Oxalis and Magnolias more than any carnivorous plant), it has a completely unique structure and unique seasonal growth habit (pitchers are naturally produced in warmer summer weather mostly, while cooler winters trigger flat photosynthetic leaves).

I received this highlands pitcher plant (Nepenthes glandulifera) as a gift at the end of November and it is growing like mad. I'm waiting for the oldest pitcher to fully die back before I trim it off the plant, which detracts from its appearance, but the 3 newest pitchers are growing quickly and ready to take its place. I was worried about caring for this plant that loves moisture because I live in such an arid environment.
