ampullaria " hot lip " speckled
an interesting feature of this form was their peristome colour variation - light red and maroon.
It was a usual heath forest where their presence can be misleading - their appearance look like spotted ampullaria at young stage where the red peristome isn't visible. A close inspection would often show a thread of light red tinge on the outer part of the peristome. The following photo shows a young plant with peristome colours transformation at different stages.    a similar clone taken at different location many months back.   It is not known what contribute to the maroon colour , eventhough they occur in the same location, grown in the open and slightly shaded by dense shrubs.   pitcher from another plant

Re: ampullaria " hot lip " speckled
Wow, NICE amps! I really like the "red flag" peristome on the "similar clone taken at different location" shots. Almost like it's shouting out "Don't miss me, over here"!
What kind of percentage would you say of the amps you have seen in the wild have these red peristomes Robert?

Re: ampullaria " hot lip " speckled
I just cannot understand why there is not much diversity of ampularia forms in Peninsular Malaysia. We always see the green or speckle form but no red form, hot lips, etc.
The first picture really shows the peristome colour transformation at different stages. With each new leaf the peristome gets more red. Nice shot Robert.

David, Actually there are quite a number of amp varieties in Peninsular Malaysia. I have taken many pictures and will post them soon.
