Nice neps!!Like your khasiana and thorelii

Re: New Year's Neps
 

Great, the borders around the pictures are a nice affect.

Re: New Year's Neps
 

nice neps, shawn! i have one of those giant tigers too and i've always felt that its a mirabilis hybrid of some sort...

Re: New Year's Neps
 

Thanks guys. :biggrin:

Alcran, that is done by a program called "tops" -'Traumflieger Online Picture' freeware. It is a great little program for compressing pictures as well as adding frames and text to batches of pictures.

Hongrui - I'm sure you are correct! We will just have to wait for the taxonomists to clarify why it differs from what we are familiar with as N. mirabilis. Marcello, Francois and others have been doing a lot of research on the Indo-Chinese species and hopefully we will all get a clearer understanding once they publish more of their works.

Hi Shawn,
Nice collection of neps. Regarding the GTs including the "Coke can" variety, I felt most of them were probably hybrids of N. mirabilis and as you said, we will have to wait for the experts to confirm it's true lineage.

Re: New Year's Neps
 

Nice plants shawn...Love the khasiana especially...I have no idea how you can grow it that big in LL conditions...I know it is a forgiving plant but THAT....(faint)

Re: New Year's Neps
 

Ken you should say *Screams!!* then *faints* and thud!Well thats how I feel too

Re: New Year's Neps

Re: New Year's Neps
 

After all these years, I still get blown away by some N. raffs, amps hookers (gotta love them gorgeous hookers!;) and other common lowland species! - Rich
