Nepenthes South of Peninsular Malaysia
Went looking for N. rafflesiana yesterday with TS and Jonathan down south of Peninsular Malaysia. We could only make it a day trip as we have other commitments but we were determined to go anyway even though the location we were going to took more than 5 hours by car. Add that to the hours looking for the plants and driving back, it adds up to more than 12 hours of driving time. I have never drove for so many hours in one day continuously before in my life... But it was worth it!
 Here are the pictures... N. rafflesiana: An exceptionally broad peristome upper pitcher.  Opening upper pitcher  Dark brownish/black pitcher  upper picther  Lower pitcher  TS found this one plant of all light green... nivea?  Beautiful green uppers  Lower pitchers  An ant toying with death trying to reach for the nectar below the peristome  Intermedia pitcher  Different variations of pitcher peristome:

Re: Nepenthes South of Peninsular Malaysia
nice raffs varieties. The amp with red lips have faded colours, probably due to low light level. There should be more interesting hookeriana colours around with such diverse raffs and amps.

Re: Nepenthes South of Peninsular Malaysia
Ken,
Not very sure what you meant by "do they like come in bulks?" Need your clarification. Tks. Edward, It's a few locations in and around the southern states. Ali, We suspect the hot lips are not true hot lips as there are a few pitchers on the vine (upper vine) that does not have the red peristome. Forgot what these are called but this means the colours only appear in certain growing conditions. Kinda like what Robert showed us before. Robert, The plants are found in a few locations a couple of kilometers away from each other. We tried to look for variations of hookers but can't seem to find them. Found a xtrichocarpa but nothing spectacular. Just the usual green speckle pitchers. And yes, you're right Robert. The amps with red peristome were growing under thick forest trees and bushes. The pitchers were also covered with leaves and detritus.
