what, you guys havent been to your 'hometown' in mount kinabalu yet? i proposed you guys go there this CNY and bring some josssticks or whatever to worship the neps!!!

david, my shots are the blurry ones you see in the nepenthes section!! these are my wife's shots, most of them anyway!! the camera doesnt agree with me, i think. it has absolutely nothing to do with my (poor) camera skills.

i hereby diagnosed you guys with nepenthitis, an progressive, deteriorating, incapacitating disease with no cure? or maybe there is a cure but you need to give me your most precious plants, starting with athene and her beautiful pot of burmanii!!
once that is done, i will refer you to the consultant nepenthologist... hahaha.

on a serious note, i am going to the other hometown of nepenthes on the other side of peninsular malaysia, sumatera. lake toba and its surroundings. wont be too much time for plants though, and my family will kill me if i turn it into a nep hunting holiday!
but there is a flower and plant market in brastagi, who knows they sell inermis there? 'wink wink'. anyone got any suggestions for me to contribute further to nepenthes in the wild corner??
