This is one of the most realistic Nepenthes monuments I have seen. Really beautiful. Good job to the Penang government.

one of my fren, who lives about 100m away from the mock nep, told me that they neps actually come ready in 3 pieces, they just weld them together and do some touch up, i wonder they are made of fiberglass...using mold

i forget to mention that this roundabout is located at about 1-2 km away from the HQ office of Taman Negara /reserved forest of penang, Teluk Bahang forest, which many of penang CP members has organised a group outing in 2009.

I remember another monument like that, also at a roundabout. But I forgot where. Good job to the Penang government for making this wonderful realistic monument.

I've been here during my last penang trip...I saw it at night....A little further up there is a nice seafood restoran

Just a thought, when i saw it i "identified" it in my mind as ampullaria albo and sanguinea but i don't there are sanguineas in penang are there?
