Hi everyone,
This prolonged draught and low humidity hot weather really make our life "hotter" than usual in Peninsular Malaysia.

Let's se how my neps are doing in such weather...

N. ampullaria -1


N. ampullaria - 2


N. x Singapore Gardentech


N. thorelii x truncata - Newly opened pitcher (left), aged pitcher (right)


N. lowii x boschiana - new pitcher opened this week, unfazed by the hot weather


N. maxima-dark x merrilliana - color look faded, maybe it's still new...


N. maxima-dark x (lowii x ventricosa)


N. reinwardtiana


N. sp. Giant Tiger - possible a hybrid with N. mirabilis


N. kongkandana


N. spectabilis x ventricosa


N. x Gothica - growing steadily...


N. veitchii L/L - young plant


N. viking x rafflesiana


N. viking x (rafflesiana x viking) - latest pitcher with wings getting smaller and smaller and pitcher getting rounder and rounder...


N. x hookeriana


N. (ventricosa x sibuyanensis) x Trusmadiensis


Thanks for viewing

Hihi Robert,
All your neps are really gorgeous!I like the round green hookeriana and the viking hybrids.The EP plants also are nice.Will the redness of the pitcher get bleached under direct sun?The viking x kuching which I got from the GP got bleached under hot sun.T.T

Nice plants as usual Rob..will post my viking x raff later.They shape and color is very nice.

very nice plants, Robert. I love all lowii hybrids but I have to say that your viking x raff hybrids are equally nice. Thanks for the eyecandy

Thanks, kit. Pitchers from certain species and hybrids are known to bleached out in strong and direct sunlight, especially those related to N. mirabilis and N. mirabilis var globosa.

Glad you like it Boris. I also love all the lowii hybrids but not all hybrids involving lowii can do well (to a certain degree) in LL tropical climate, so my options are more limited

The lowii x boschiana is simply beautiful.....great plants. Seems like most of them are quite 'unfazed' by the hot weather....haha

Today, it rained terribly heavy in my area. I don't know why the newspaper say that this hot weather(El Nino) would continue until April-May, yet it keeps raining cats and dogs.

Thanks Edward, I guess after 1-2 months you'll see me posting "Rainy Season" neps...

The rain just started recently after an unusually long and hot weather since Jan 2010. In fact, parts of China and Thailand are forced to have drinking water to be delivered to them in the affected zones.
