Hi Robert,

Hmmm, mine's not that old but was a surprise too! Do you think this is the same?

Ok, why don't my pictures appear here in place of the little icons?

Yes, seed grown neps always show surprises. I have a seed grown N. rafflesiana turned out pinkish with dark red speckle.
Congratulations on the raff, Robert.

Thanks Ali and TS.

Shawn, the pitchers are similar but the man different was the frilled tendril ( detail photo attached below )





small pitcher at this stage and as the plant matured the frilled tendril will be very prominent.

robert, that seedling is going to be a very gorgeous alata when mature!

[shawnintland]

Yep, you're right! That frilled tendril wasn't so obvious in the earlier pictures but I noticed the big wings! Congratulations!

Hey, can you tell me why my attachments don't appear as pictures on the post but rather little clickable icons?
