-Xeno- Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 (edited) Sorry if this is the wrong section, I wasn't sure what the best sub-forum would be. The Tropical Centre in the Royal Botanic Gardens, Sydney, has a surprising variety of CP's, with large pots of Sarracenia's and Drosera's out the front and some beautiful Nepenthes inside. The Sarracenia's were dormant when I went but I had seen them before on other occassions. Nepenthes alata: Nepenthes burbidgeae: Nepenthes copelandii: Nepenthes eymae: Nepenthes eymae and truncata: Nepenthes fusca "orange": Nepenthes khasiana: Nepenthes lowii x truncata Upper and Lower pitcher: Nepenthes maxima x ovata: Nepenthes ramispina: Nepenthes sanguinea: Nepenthes ventricosa upper pitcher: Nepenthes ventricosa x (talangensis x carnuculata): Nepenthes vietchii: I couldn't find the label for this plant, I think it's a hirsuta: Edited July 24, 2011 by -Xeno- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Xeno- Posted July 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 (edited) Some of the other plants: Brochinia reducta: Drosera adelae: Pinguicula sp.

petmantis Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 When I saw the first photo, the N. alata, I thought this would be one of those boring pic threads. . . but then the next one was a gorgeous N. burbidgeae! Wow! Fantastic Nep collection, I also enjoyed the Masdevallias and Dracs. Thanks for sharing. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dchasselblad74 Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 VERY NICE Images!!! That Cymbidium is Gorgeous!!!! Thanks for sharing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Xeno- Posted July 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 Gald that you enjoyed them. It's one thing to see these plants in photos, another thing to see them in person. N. truncata, vietchii and burbidgeae have shot up on my wanted list as a result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christerb Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 Thanks for the photos. It seem they have managed to get together some very nice plants in their collection. BTW, I wonder if that Dracula might be D. bella, instead of D. cordobae. Regards, Christer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Xeno- Posted July 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 Yes, it's a quite nice collection, and I believe there are plans to expand it in the near future. I think you may be right about the Dracula orchid as well, it does look a lot like D. bella, I'll edit the original post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
