N. veitchii - Bario Highland - grex # 2

This species is a top favourite for many growers. Endemic to the island of Borneo, where it usually grows as an epiphyte, it produces magnificent pitchers, with hugely flared peristomes. Pitcher bodies have a wonderful velvety texture and peristomes vary a great deal in colour – ranging from pink, through gold, to deep brown. Sometimes peristomes are a single colour, and others can be candy-striped. There are endless variations that often don’t become fully apparent until plants mature.This item is a random selection from hundreds of different clones, being a mixture obtained from an entire seed head. It was created in our nurseries from mother plants, which themselves are selected clones from seed-raised individuals. Both male and female parents are of the Bario form of the species.As might be expected, the plants we are seeing are highly variable. Peristome colouration ranges from pure gold to candy striped, and pitcher bodies vary from gold to pink, with all sorts of variations in between. Most pitchers are squat, but some are less so. The huge number of clones involved in this cross makes this item particularly interesting, since it’s unlikely that two identical individuals will be present in any particular shipment. This item differs from BE-3734 in that both sets of parent plants are different clones and have different appearances.Last returned:August 2025History:First introduced in Oct 2020 from seed harvested in Oct 2016. This is the second grex we created, the first being BE-3734, which was introduced in Dec 2016 using different parent plants.Origin:Horticultural, bred from specimen parent plants. The female parent is the squat pure-gold form, with our Collection ID# 0225. The male parent has a gold peristome with red stripes – which is most unusual – and has our Collection ID# 0202. Both parents are shown in the photos at the end of the series.Source:Random assortment from hundreds of different clones, all from the same grex of seeds – see note.Photo notes:Photos are of representative clones and may not be identical to plants shipped. The last photos in the series show plants of typical sale sizes in order of size S, M & L (when available). This species is a top favourite for many growers.
