Default new discovery for me!

I just found out that my elevation is at 2,180 ft (660 m)it is ideal for lowland nepenthes, and we are by a body of fresh water lake. I used to think that my conditions were highland, because i still get temperature drops at night, and all highland neps do really well. But when i can grow a nepenthes bicalcarata with all my other plants, it boggled my mind.Now granted, all lowland plants were alittle stunted, but now have resumed normal growth and are on there way to pitchering. Here is a photo i just took of bicalcarata ‘red flush’. I would show more, but the plant light turned off for the night

Congratulations, your quite lucky, you're located in a place where intermediates/
highlanders will do well and still be able to grow lowlanders as evidence by your bical
which clearly shows the new leaves are getting bigger.

Here in the US. elevation reflects very little on your climate... Idaho is Idaho and still would be put on my list for highland locations, sure your elevation is lowland, however the climate is not "lowland" in nepenthes standards... Bicals can grow as highlanders, I have seen it done, your bical will grow and grow, but I see no pitchers on it, and that very well may be a reflection on the fact that your temperatures are more balanced on the highland side, especially as we enter fall and our temps are on the decline...
