Nepenthes - dial up warning, tons of pictures

[kenya_1977]

Given that we weren't in a heavy neptenthes area in Malaysia, I figured I'd go ahead and post some pictures of plants that I took at a fellow froggers greenhouse.

Enjoy

Slipped a couple orchids in there..

MAN! Beautiful! every last one of em! I love nepenthes, but couldnt find the Malagasy species when preparing for my terrariums. I hear Phelsumas like the taste of the alluring liquid on the plant lip

I'm not sure where most of these are from. Given that it's not my forte, I'm not even going to pretend to know which is which. Except that I do remember the first one is N. hamata. The razor-like projections made me pay attention to that one.

Let's see I'll give it a try: 1) Nepenthes hamatus, 2) N. inermis, 3) N. glabratus, 4) not sure, 5) N. rafflesiana, 6) N. albomarginata, 7) N. sanguinea, 8) maybe N. alata, 9) don't know, 10) Paphiopedium esqual..something or other (I don't have any references here), 11), Cattleyia a...somthing, 12) Sarracenia, possibly alata, 14) Sarracenia, possibly purpurea, 15) Sarracenia. That's it. I may be able to edit this a bit when I get home and put in the proper names of the orchids. Without seeing the leaves I can't give you the names of the Sarracenia.

Best,

Chuck

absolutely beautiful, does he/she sell or just grow privately?

The pticher plants are great. I've always had a side interest in botany and plan persuing that interest more this year. There are some pitcher plant bogs in North East Texas that I have always wanted to visit.

I dont have much of an interest in plants to be honest, but I have always liked pitcher plants... They are the only plants I have grown myself out side of a vivarium.

Awesome! Thanks for the pics! I especially like N. hamata!
