Hi guys
Here's part 3.2: The Mesilau Nature Centre where N. burbidgeae, N. fusca and the hybrid between those two grow. Apparently the two species have been planted at this site. The N. burbidgeae were found growing at the base of the walk, just after the bridge along with the hybrid, while N. fusca was found growing higher up the hill, amongst the N. rajahs.  An interesting red pitcher form of N. burbidgeae  The new leaves on this plant were also a nice crimson red. Has anyone else seen or grown plants of this colouration? Or could it be just be due to the plant being stressed as it was growing out in the open in full sun.  A nice large pitcher of N. burbidgeae. This one measured around 16cm in size.  N. burbidgeae  A N. burbidgeae pitcher off a and larger mature plant. These pitchers tend to become a lot squatter and fatter.  N. burbidgeae pitcher off a younger plant.  The whole N. burbidgeae plant.  N. burbidgeae  N. burbidgeae  N. burbidgeae  The guys taking pics of N. burbidgeae.  N. burbidgeae habitat  The lower pitcher of N. fusca.  The whole plant of N. fusca. -4084.jpg) N. x (N. burbidgeae x N. fusca) -4326.jpg) N. x (N. burbidgeae x N. fusca), unfortunately there was no new pitchers on this plant. -4300.jpg) A small seedling of N. x (N. burbidgeae x N. fusca)  A Paphiopedilum Orchid we found in flower growing near where the N. rajah are.  Another nice Orchid growing in the habitat. More to come soon. Part 4 - Kundasang-War-Memorial & Poring-Tambunan Cheer Steve This post has been edited by Fredders: 12th October 2007 - 05:15 AM |

No I'm back in Melbourne, Australia now. I took 2,500 photos and it's just taken a fair while to sort through and find the good pics.

aaah.... nothing too much. I was going to ask if you could take some collective pics and data from the growing conditions. Especially temps, humidity, soil conditions near the plants. I know that there is data on this already...but the only pics by Rob on the humidity and temp readings are lost in the archives.
