Wonderful series of photos David...thoroughly enjoyed all of them.

I just have to convince my partner that a holiday to look at plants is worth it............

« Reply #6 on Jan 8, 2008, 8:43am » Thanks everyone for your kind words.

Ludwig, I was also amazed that some of the plants grow in such rocky and almost dry media. And you're right. It's clay, gravel and rocks. Perhaps it's because the air is humid, cool and moving. On top of that I am guessing frequent rains in the highlands help to water them. Funny thing is some of them also grow on very wet media with moss growing on top and water moving on/under the ground.

Peter, when you have managed to convince your "Minister of Home Affairs" to go on a holiday looking for plants and you decide to come to Peninsular Malaysia, let me know. We can organise a trip to these locations. Link to Post - Back to Top LoggedMy Wantlistisaacgoh

Thanks for posting the pictures for us to drool over.

This striped peristome beauty reminds me of northiana, probably I have not seen the real northiana. I agree with the comments that I have under-estimated the beauty of Sanguinea.

The upper of the ramispina is awesome, a great substitute for Campanulata fans like me. I wonder if ramispina can be kept in lowland condition.

Rgds,

« Reply #9 on Jan 8, 2008, 2:19pm » Robert, Is that a sanguinea? (last few pictures) How come the peristome is so wide and the pitcher so globose. It reminded of N. veitchii when I first saw it but of course veitchii are not found in Peninsular Malaysia. The pitcher colour looks the same as veitchii huh. « Last Edit: Jan 8, 2008, 2:20pm by David »Link to Post - Back to Top LoggedMy WantlistRobert
