The male parent is one of the original plants of N. robcantleyi, with the cultivar name ‘King of Spades’ – which of course is a giant plant with huge pitchers having wide peristomes.The lower pitchers on this cross are handsome, and richly coloured, but not all that remarkable. However, we made this cross in the expectation that the upper pitchers could be really special. At the time of writing (Nov 2020) we have just seen our first intermediate pitcher and it’s very promising both in form ,Small size plants, Sent out ready potted
