CephFan Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 Hi Forbes, On your web page you say may not be the sort of exotic rarities apt to excite the botanical cognoscenti; nonetheless, observing them growing together on a rugged maritime hillside is not an everyday occasion for most plant nerds The only Sarracenia that I have ever seen was S. minor that I found after some searching near a field margin in Florida. I was like a little boy; so excited to see it in the wild. I have never seen wild Nepenthes so seeing these would be fantastic. It is a great looking location too. Thanks for sharing your photographs. Cheers, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Cornish Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 Thanks for posting an excellent post from a stunning location. Wow you found so many Nepenthes, I could only find a single plant while I was their although it was still a great thrill. See the post below. http://www.cpukforum.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=11855&hl=macau Thanks for sharing. Regards Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forbes Posted August 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 Nice to hear that the pictures are of interest. Neil, Do you recall where you found the Nepenthes? Judging by the sand, I'd say it was north of Hac Sa beach (the bus terminus) going towards the Westin hotel. This site is south of Hac Sa. I'll have to check out Pokfulam Reservoir sometime; handy that it's so close to Central. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Cornish Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 Hi Forbes, The Nepenthes was found in a drainage ditch just off a road in the middle of the Island that went up a steep hill to a temple. It was a while ago and this is about all I can remember. Regards Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
