Singapore nepenthes
 

I just started collecting nepenthes not too long ago, and am particularly interested in Nepenthes rafflesiana, for it being one of the larger species, and also for the neverending variation in the plants. Of course, it being a species endemic to Singapore was one of the best things that could happen, even though there aren't many variants here.

Sharing a few pics of Singapore's rafflesiana..
