Hey guys, went for a holiday with my family near the border of terengganu and well found some neps there :) Its my first time seeing wild lowland neps and well that made my day :) Here are the pictures.

Here are some of the huge gracilis i found...Kinda hard to miss even though you're going at 80kmph

Well after walking for awhile i saw this bigger nep..Was actually looking for mirabilis so i thought it was a mirabilis...Upon closer inspection i realised it was Nepenthes Rafflesiana!

congratulation, amazing trip, rafflesiana remains one of the species that top my wish list to see in wild, does it grow in half wet terrain?

Re: Wild Gracilis and...???
 

Well they grow right next to the gracilis as seen in some pics so yea half wet...

Re: Wild Gracilis and...???
 

You are very lucky to be able to see two different species in the same location. By the way great pics and thanks for sharing.:1thumbup:
