N. Albomarginata @ G. Kledang

Dear members,

I have gone to check on the albomarginata in Kledang. I was going to look for some red variant seeds but seems to find only the green ones flowering.

I think just like myself, you've been overwhelmed by the number of new neps species discovered and shown recently. Here's some pictures of the plain old albomarginata that still captures my attention very much.

The dancing ladies are here to greet you.

Here's a maroon red one.

Here's a big and fat one.

Albomarginata growing next to gracillis side by side

Too close proximity and this is what happens. Hybrid?

Some big gracillis pitchers growing nearby

How come I never manage to grow my gracillis like this? Mother nature sure has her secret.

Albomarginata everywhere, red, green, maroon, purple etc.

My aim this round is to find the black variant after few trips. This is the closest that I get. Purple black. Seems we don't have the black variant here.

A very striking red albo.

Not sure what orchid this is. Didn't see any flower probably not in season

Cheers and have fun growing neps.

Isaac,

I am quite confident the orchid sp is paphiopilum barbatum - a type of slipper orchid which is quite common in the north.

Thanks for clarifying. Now I know who is an orchid grower. http://s4.images.proboards.com/cheesy.gif

I really love how each N. albomarginata in the wild is all different from one another. This is unique among tc plants we have in cultivation.

Yeah, I didn't notice how varied the albos are until I took the pictures and sort them out.

I do hope that you'll be able to find different colour variations in your seedlings if you ever germinate them.
