Jewels in the forest
 

This forest held some of the most bizarre ampullaria that i ever visited. Pitchers are huge and often some display dual colours. without further explanation here are the pics. comments most welcome.

Hi Robert

Wow those Amps are as big like my coffee mug! Seems like the freshly opened pitchers are those with green lips. Thanks for the beautiful pictures. :1thumbup:

Re: Jewels in the forest
 

GREAT PICS.. where is this area ?

Re: Jewels in the forest
 

some freshly open pitchers are green and later develop the red on the peristome but there are some that bear the red soon as they unfold.

it's outside kuching

Re: Jewels in the forest
 

I can never get tired seeing pictures of Amps in the wild. Really huge pitchers. Tks Robert

Re: Jewels in the forest
 

Wow, nice shots. Good size and nice coloration.

Are the deformed amp pitchers restricted to just one individual plant and all the pitchers are formed this way??

Re: Jewels in the forest
 

BIGGEST AMP I'VE EVER SEEN....Clones of this giant form should be in circulation

Re: Jewels in the forest
 

very cute lip also...

wonder why the shape of amp is diff in the last few picture????

Re: Jewels in the forest
 

David, most welcome.

Rob and Edmund, only 2 of the pitchers were dented. Their early growth were blocked by falling debris and twigs. They were covering all the pitchers and i have to remove inorder to take photos.

ken, not sure any commercial nurseries doing TC on such form.
