Phil Green 73 Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 (edited) I rarely show these lowlanders, but as many are looking quite good and I've had some nice surprises - I thought I'd show some. And for those who thought all IC species look the same ...... N. andamana (Takuapa, Phang-nga Privince, Southern Thailand) N. smilesii (Pha Taem, North-east Thailand) N. kerrii - a youngish seedling N. chang (Ko Chang, Thailand) with a pleasant surprise N. kampotiana (30 km from Trat, Thailand) A couple of red N. mirabilis - seed grown N. albomarginata (Gunung Jerai, Peninsular Malaysia) N. rafflesiana (Giant, Squat form, Central Kalimantan) - (I'm not sure there isn't a touch of mirabilis in it) Edited July 13, 2011 by Phil Green Quote Link to post Share on other sites

christerb 24 Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Phil, thanks for posting the photos! Great seeing N. andamana, I haven't seen many cultivated specimens of that one. Same with N. chang, interesting to see that it has quite pale colored pitchers. That N. smilesii pitcher really have a big "bottom", it will be interesting too see this plant develop. Yes , I agree that the raff looks like it could have some N. mirabilis in it. I have some giant raffs from Kasongan/Katingan (Central Kalimanatan) which I also suspected had some input from that species, especially in one specimen. Now however, apart from it having a little oddly elongated pitcher shape, it doesn't seem to show any traits from that species, as far as I can see. Regards, Christer Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Phil Green 73 Posted July 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 (edited) Yeh, there aren't many chang or andamana in cultivation. I think we need to show them more to let people see what they are missing. I think the lower pitchers of chang have more colour. Shame there probably isn't a mate around for it. Gotta love those 'big bottoms' Edited July 16, 2011 by Phil Green Quote Link to post Share on other sites
