N.villosa at Mt Kinabalu
 

Went to climb Mt Kinabalu last month and managed to see lots of N.villosa along the trail.. too bad didnt see any rajah or lowii :(
I started to see them when I reach Layang-Layang Hut (2700m) and all the way till Waras Hut (3200m).

N. villosa is absolutely stunning! I really like how long the tendrils are on it, it makes it look so elegant! I never tire of seeing Neps in the wild, hope to be able to see them in person some day.
Thanks for sharing the pics!

Wow Boon Leng, those are really nice pictures of the N. villosa and N. tentaculata, especially the N. villosa, so lovely! Thanks for sharing, really enjoy seeing them.

I agree! Great to see these pictures. Those loooong tendrils make me wonder what a cross between N. villosa x viking would come out like? A big winged viking with teeth would be amazing!

Is really great to see them in the wild... they are so nice.
Too bad didnt take many pic of it.. coz i already half dead tat time... oso i need to rush to the base camp before dark.
It took me 8 hours to reach the base camp on day 1.

Stunning villosa! Looks like it got fangs.

Good to see you made to the base camp, Boon Leng. Mt Kinabalu trail was dotted with many wild exotic plants that distract trekkers attention. The villosas were the reward. you reached the summit the next morning?

Re: N.villosa at Mt Kinabalu
 

Wow!thats a wonder of nature.
It's really stunning.Maybe we can grow villosa hybrid if it cross with Lowlander.
Like Shawintland said.Hope to see if we Malaysians make a stunning hybrid out of Villosa.
BTW, thanks for sharing

Managed to reach the summit the next day.. really hard work :)
I'm using the Mesilau trail, so able to see lots of plants like orchids and pitcher. All the pictures are taken on the Mesilau trail, Timpohon trail hv less villosa, not as many like the 1st picture.

What have I been missing out these days?! Just saw this thread.

Boon Leng, N. villosa is one of my favourite highland nep besides macfarlanei. Love the pictures. Of course the bed of tentaculata pitchers on the ground does not fall short in any way.
