Re: Just three pics
 
Jeff, I second Ali's comment. Neofarm is great! I visited their nursery with the owners, Khun Nong and his son K. Sak, earlier this year and had a great time. I picked out plants and they mailed them to me with no problems, even adding a couple "bonus" plants. There's a link to an "English" page and articles on the homepage...their articles on Vikings are some of the only material available on the species and worth reading!
I've got a few hundred Viking seedlings going, but they will be tiny for some time to come and they are just for my own projects, not for sale. There are a few other sellers, mostly in Bangkok. Here's a link to a Thai forum which won't help you much unless you can read Thai script, but just below the masthead are a line of links (starting with "MainPage", "FAQ", etc.) there's about 6 links to Thai sellers there. I "think" Fausi had some Vikings last time I looked at his site, but not sure.
Good luck!
Shawn

PS my miranda's are also in partial shade but pitcher freely year round... I do keep them quite wet. I was just reading an article somewhere on http://lhnn.proboards107.com/index.cgi discussing N. miranda and the need for a very 'open' media. Mine are in coco fiber, which with all the water is probably getting pretty no-airated but they seem to be doing great anyway! I'll try to shoot a couple pictures soon.

Neofarm sells their plants quite expensively.
Some plants are more than 2000 that is equal to more than RM195.

Yes Ali, SOME plants are expensive, then again there are Vikings from Neofarm at 5 plants for 500 baht which is not expensive. I think the only Neofarm plants that I saw over 1,000 baht were a few specialty N. ampullaria (Tri-color, Cantley's red, etc.) and a single raff and some Kuchinensis with interesting peristome colorations all which were about the same prices I see everywhere around here It all depends on what you want and what you are willing to spend. I've bought plants from BE and others for more than 2,000 baht but it was for plants that I thought were worth that much (There's actually a plant listed at $250 US (7,750 Baht!:crying:) on one well known site I just visited recently). I will say that the service, shipping and quality of plants I received from Neofarm were excellent! But DO shop around!

OK Jeff,
I might agree with you but don't you think a xcoccinea (small size) for 350 Baht(RM34) and a Hookeriana for 1,500 Baht (RM145.50) is way too expensive.You can buy a medium size xcoccinea for RM25 and a large size hookeriana for RM65 from Fauzi.

The colour was natural and as newer pitchers formed the colour become more intense with red.

Thanks, Robert. Phew! I thought the northiana pitcher is really bleached as suggested. I'll post again when the next pitcher starts to colour up. :smile:

Cindy,

Your echinostoma seem to have more reddish colour on its pitchers compared to mine, but perhaps mine is still a young plant. Nice colours.

David, is yours from BE too? And how big is your plant? Mine is about 6"-7" across.

Hi Jeff, ironically my miranda is growing >15" pitchers when under 90% sunlight. But I moved it gradually though. But it liked a large pot, as they tend to suck up lots of water. :2thumbup:
