Default Re: northianas and the serious photographers

TS, in this particular location, they're all tall matured plants, they grow inbetween the crevices of limestone boulders.Some pitchers are found growing in dark shade and sandwiched by the limestone. uppers are mostly hanging in mid-air, where the leaves lies near boulders pitchers would be lying flat or leaning ( # 2nd pic)

They receive sunlight about 9.30am to 3.00pm. It was part of a cliff,a small section with level ground surrounded by limestone boulders thus blocking off sunlight. Humidity and temp ( i have taken the reading before and am sure they are applicable here ) - Day temp 37ºC, night 30ºC (lower during rainy monsoon ie 28ºC ), humidity day around 60% , night 80%.
