Re: N. veitchii
 

Good morning everybody.
Cindy, I think that your plant is the veitchii low land. Here is what I saw not very far from Bau.

That's a dead ringer for my pitcher! Thanks so much, Jean-Marc! :smile:

Do I see a bulbophyllum where the veitchii is growing out from?

The peristome was at its best two nights ago. A pity 'cos it won't stay flared for long.

Today, the peristome is starting to fold back.

As much as I tried, I couldn't get the correct colour tone with a PNS digicam. Until I moved closer! The pitchers are actually more pink flesh-tone in real life, rather than orange.

One more photo to show its size...not very big for N. veitchii, I think.

lowland veitchii pitcher and leaves are longish ( in simple layman term) while the highland form has tubby pitcher and leaves are curvy and broad. The following pic , taken last year, has the same coloration as Cindy's but note the differences in leave sand pitcher's structure.
