Your expertise required.
 
Sifus,
A newbie here who acquired a few plants over the weekend. As I wish to update my inventory of my CP's, would appreciate if you could ID them for me. Your assistance is much appreciated.

Picked this up at some lonely nursery at CH.

Got this from the pasar malam at Brinchang.

According to the staff at Cactus Valley, this is called Indah.

Common as it may be, I need a ID for my inventory. What to do, newbie mah!*biggrin2*

Thanks in advance for the assistance.

1.N.hirsuta?/N benstonei??
2.Since from CH could be a cimplex hybrid of sanguinea
3.It does not look like indah (ventricosa x sphatulata) cos it doesn't have enough speckle...So im guessing a sphatulata
4.N ventrata

3 is a young N x Indah. Mature plant will have more speckles.

You got a keen eye! Better be careful when I take pics or you may know what type of underwear I use! :shy:hahaha!

Dont know their names but one is white while the other is dark pink. Found the best way to guarantee flowers all the time is just to neglect it. In fact I just removed the trellis for a redesign of my garden and have yet to build another trellis for it; that's why it's sitting in the corner!

Anyone have any idea of the first Nep? If not, I have to just mark it as Unknown for the moment.

Thank you everyone for your kind assistance.

I have the first plant with NO ID too but I just classify it as a sanguinea because it looks similar.

Hi H,

It looks like both of us went to the same place in CH over the weekend. I was also in Cactus Valley and picked up the Red ( black ) Sanguinea and Indah. I also picked up Sibuyuensis and Truncata.

Will probably go there again in a few months but not during school holidays. The traffice was horrendous !

Hei Bernard,
I was at Cactus Valley on June 7 in the early evening and someone beat me to the juvenile purpurea! They were trying to push the Truncata to me as well but I was more interested in the VFT's, Sarras and Droseras.

What I could not find, I did at Cactus Point the next day before my departure. But their collection of CP's were not as impressive as CV.

Yes, the traffic was a killer but what took the cake was the new exit from Cactus Valley through the Big Red Strawberry! Whoever designed those 60 degree slopes must be out of their mind! A new Rexton in front of mine could not even climb the first slope, belching exhaust fumes and straining hard to make it up the first plateau.

So, anyone going to CV better have a light load in the car or a more powerful engine! A good and experienced driver helps too!
