“Some time back Borneo Exotics bred two of the only nine plants known in cultivation of this, one of the rarest of all Nepenthes, Nepenthes robcantleyi. The area where seed that gave rise to the original nine plants was collected was devastated by logging activities in the late 1990s and Nepenthes robcantleyi is believed to be either critically endangered, or possibly even extinct in the wild. N. robcantleyi is endemic to the Philippine island of Mindanao. The female parent of this release has the cultivar name ‘Queen of Hearts’, and is very probably the most photographed Nepenthes in history, having appeared on many of BE gold medal winning Chelsea Flower show exhibits. The male parent named ‘King of Spades’ is darker in overall coloration than the ‘Queen of Hearts’ and has green peristome wings.” Expect extra large pitchers with an extremely wide peristome on these plants.
