Re: L/L Nepenthes of South Western Peninsular Malaysia
Looks like it was a fun trip. It's nice to see that there are some places where neps are thriving.

Re: L/L Nepenthes of South Eastern Peninsular Malaysia
First photo under Pahang section aren't those seed pods in the photo? No close up? No seeds got caught on your pant accidentally? :)
Great photos and great info on their soils look like. Love that wild LSM! First time to see photo like that insitu in tropical LL place. Man I sure would like to have some of those! TTFN Arvin |
Re: L/L Nepenthes of South Western Peninsular Malaysia
Boo song liau lorr (Don't feel nice already)... Such an amazing trip and you did not ask me along.
Thanks for the great pictures and documentary tho'. Really beautiful. Amazing that the sphagnum moss is able to thrive so well under lowland conditions. I especially like the clump of gracilis basels. Just love them when they grow that way. The "hot lips" gracilis is just georgeous! The rafflesiana pictures are just amazing. Such huge pitchers. Lim, quickly post the burmanii pictures please. :2thumbup: I think this is the first time I've seen or heard of someone finding drosera in Peninsular Malaysia. It is always in Borneo. Well done man! |
Re: L/L Nepenthes of South Eastern Peninsular Malaysia
From my observation about the LSM growing naturally in L/L condition, if without the cool stream to keep it moist and cool constantly(~28C), I don't think it can fluorish. The key is the moisture that keeps them going....
BA, After this trip, I'll be grounded for at least 3-4 months liao... :crying: Hi Arvin, All seeds seems accidentally stick to Lim's pants... *biggrin2**biggrin2* Hi David, Mai ar neg kuan lah... (Please don't be like that... *biggrin2*). Actually I'm Lim's driver for this trip as he needed to collect some bettas for his research with USM, so the main objective is to go collect the bettas... Always next time... still many2 spots to see but so little time. :laugh: |
Re: L/L Nepenthes of South Eastern Peninsular Malaysia
Robert, I know how grounded you'll be. Grounded for three 4 months... that's an understatement. Hehe. Thanks for sharing anyway. Would you mind putting up more habitat pictures. Love to see the surroundings where the nep is growing.

Re: L/L Nepenthes of South Eastern Peninsular Malaysia

Re: L/L Nepenthes of South Eastern Peninsular Malaysia
BA,
Your wish is my command... *biggrin2* One of the typical habitat for N. gracilis. http://img398.imageshack.us/img398/7841/habitat1.jpg N. gracilis can grow on rocks :blink: http://img142.imageshack.us/img142/2361/habitat2.jpg A typical N. mirabilis marsh land habitat http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/818/habitat3.jpg Marsh land habitat which is also home to N. ampullaria and... you guess it.. N. gracilis *biggrin2* http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/1976/habitat4.jpg Another shot of marsh land http://img40.imageshack.us/img40/3/habitat5.jpg Below is the typical habitat for N. rafflesiana but might also support N. ampullaria, N. gracilis and the hybrids. http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/8457/habitat6.jpg Can you see where's the nepenthes? http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/876/habitat7.jpg Notice the N. rafflesiana?? The tendrils is pretty long hence suporting the plant to grow upright, this particular form might be the "long tendril" raff (only one specimen observed). http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/8249/habitat8.jpg http://img40.imageshack.us/img40/3241/habitat9.jpg |

You're welcome Ali. This kind of trip is not "a walk in the park"... For such trip we'll need a minimum of 3 days, it's definately not a day trip sort of things. Not sure if your parents will agree to this... :unsure: |

Re: L/L Nepenthes of South Eastern Peninsular Malaysia
Many years ago, Longwood Gardens had a N. raff that produced nearly 4 foot long tendrils! They lost the plant, and I thought I would never see one like that again! Nice find! :1thumbup: - Rich

Re: L/L Nepenthes of South Eastern Peninsular Malaysia
Thanks Robert. Just managed to drop in to check this post. Like what Rich said, long tentrils ya.
