Wild Nepenthes discovery
 

Went back to Johor recently, suppose to go for a interesting sea fishing, so unlucky, the trip canceled due to boat engine NG. Not able to challenge "trevally(ebak)" this year. Soo upset....
ah....so0 shien.... *biggrin2*too free nothing to do and decided to explore wild Nepenthes nearby.
I finally manage to see other than N.Gracilis.
Here you go...

As usual, very common green N.Gracilis

Full of flower blooming, for those who interested to try growing N.Gracilis seeds, can send me a SASE.

This one grow at the area of N.Gracilis and N. Rafflesiana, I guess should be both natural hybrid.

Re: Wild Nepenthes discovery

Re: Wild Nepenthes discovery
 

N. x trichocarpa, Are you talking about the green one?

Yea the green hybird upper pitcher...

Re: Wild Nepenthes discovery
 

wah, lucky you:smile:

Re: Wild Nepenthes discovery
 

to protect the plants, do try not to expose the location....i`ve seen a whole patch of nepenthes cleared by poachers. or all seeds in the area removed for online trading purposes which may stunt the future of the neps.

cheers.
