Waahhhhwhooo! Nice neps! I especially love the lowii x truncata - what a beauty! I used to live up the road from you in Encinitas many years back...wish we had met up back then! Was the plant move based on the weather? I'm remembering the nasty Santa Anna desert windstorms (was that what they were called?). What's that seeding out behind the lowii x truncata? It looks different than the N. sanguine pods.
Great looking collection!

Yea, too bad we missed eachother. This area is great for growing neps... and not much else imo . The plants are being moved because the apartment complex is being fumigated for termites tomorrow. Untangling years old Nepenthes vines is a huge pain in the but. They tangle so tightly and grab onto everything > .

Hi,
Really really really really beautiful collection wish I can have that much ! lol

[paphioboy]

[plantlover]

Some new night time photos of truncata x veitchii, lowii x truncata, and carunculata x truncata with ventricosa x (spathulata x lowii)-







(is it wrong for me to be hypnotized by the profundity of the maroon colored interior?)

Man, incredible plants you have grown there! Yep, I wish we had met up! And come on now, S. Cal area is great for growing, it's probably the number 2 location in the world (after S. Africa) for growing 'ice plant'! Just jokin'! Hope the termite control didn't effect your plants. I'm battling them myself in the greenhouse right now... they just love that coco fiber! I've been untangling vines as well, and am seriously considering making a bunch of cuttings out of some of the ones that are getting ridiculously long!
