Well since some people are breeding bettas, I bred them and making a post about it. These aren't the regular bettas you find, these are a different species of Betta that originate in Borneo, where you mostly find intermediate/highland Nepenthes, they live in small puddles of water and are hidden...
I finally jumped on the bandwagon with a few other growers and picked up Borneo Exotic's seed-grown Nepenthes "Queen of Hearts" x "King of Spades," a well-known cross between two very rare forms of N. truncata, all but extinct in the wild. The photos of the "parents" are stunning.
Nepenthes...
check it out the amp i got , was suffering from some winter damage, but it seems to have recovered, and is doing ok now, this is its first pitcher, and it has one more inflating and another starting , these are very nice size pitchers :blush:two inches or more not including the lid, fat and...
Hi all...
Haven't seen any new photos of these for a long time, just wondered if anybody still grow these and if yes, could you please post some updated photos.
I have two distinct forms, very interested to see what yours look like...
Origenal description from the 2008 pricelist ...
This is a strange looking N. fusca that I received from Jack and Jeanie at Hawaiian Botanicals via Borneo Exotics. (If any of you ever end up in Richmond BC, be sure to drop in at their greenhouse/nursery and say hi. They are very friendly folks and have a great little place there...
Got some new plants today, but still haven't taken all the pics yet. Here's what I do have:
Ampullaria Borneo Sunset
Ampullaria Cantleys Red
bellii x truncata
Tobaica
I have a better shot up close of a pitcher but it shows store name on tag so I couldn't show it
Veitchii x platychila...
My indoor nep grow chambers housing mainly lowlands right now. I will switch them out with the highlands when temps outside turn hot again.
Common red Ventricosa
N. Reinwartdiana from Borneo Exotics. You can see the new leaves are about twice the size as the ones it arrived with. This one...
There is an ongoing debate on the CPUK site (http://www.cpukforum.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=34651) dealing with the identification of Nepenthes burkei in cultivation; and there is a current view that many held in collections (including Kew Gardens for many years!) were simply mislabeled N...
So for probably going on the majority of my life now, I have wanted to go to Borneo. I've been flirting realistically with the idea for a while now, maybe a year. I haven't done anything concrete in setting up a plan yet though, aside from a buying a Malay language book.
In the next few...
Well the odds of a member having one up for grabs arent high but i thought i would ask anyway.
Ive got a variety of plants for trade, as well as an original xbox with some games and 2 controllers. I do not need a macro lense if the person does not have one, i can always find one somewhere else...
Hi guys, I got a large shipment from Borneo Exotics and I want to be sure I am handling them right. Some of the more temperamental ones are wilting and not looking too good.
The weather in Sri Lanka has been extremely rainy and dark for about the past 4 months according to Robert Cantley, and...
Here are some of my Drosera that I thought are looking halfway decent. Enjoy.
I received these as a mini D. spatulata from Borneo, they stay extremely small
D. cuneifolia
D. trinervia - shouldn't these be dormant?
D. graomogolensis
D. madagascariensis - about time to cut them off...
Came across these tonight and really liked them. Looks like they've only been up for a couple weeks. Interesting to see where many of our plants originated from. They do go on little tangents here and there but overall are very good. So for those that may have not seen them yet:
Highland...
This is the 2004 Pitcher Plants of Sarawak by Charles Clarke and Ch’ien Lee, published by Natural History Publications of Borneo, a small full-colour field guide (17 cm x 11.5 cm / 6.75” x 4.5”) to the stickier parts of the pestilential tropics, showcasing some very bulbous, obscene-looking...
Hey everyone!
After 2 months of waiting for my Borneo Exotic order to arrive, I finally got them, here are my two brand spanking new neps
I am very happy with Spectabilis x Aristolochioides
N. Lady Pauline (Talangensis x Maxima) Nothing special yet, but she'll be a beaut.
I'm also...
This info came across the VCPS listserver & even though it comes across as blatant spam, anyone who has seen some of his other books & enjoys Nepenthes will cough up the bucks ... The email also had 21 beautiful color pics of Neps - however, I don't know how to share those pics w/o hosting each...
Just got a couple shipments in, and I forgot to ask and make a post about one plant I received in the first shipment.It is a Veitchii x Boschiana, and i was wondering if it is common for a plant to exhibit white lines looking like variegation for a couple leaves, and then stop altogether? I...
Hey everyone, There is a big order coming soon from Borneo Exotics, to a Canadian Retailer. After a rather large list, I've Norrowed it to 3 neps, N. Lady Pauline, N Aristolochioides x Spectabilis, and N. Singalana. They are all highlanders, that will grow with my ventricosa and Heli's, humidity...
