    Vft flowers

    I think it was Bob Z. who posted some VFT photos earlier this year (or last?) that showed some of the VFT flowers demonstrate some significant variability. Before he posted a photo of a VFT 'wacky traps' flower, I hadn't really inspected the blooms too closely. Today, I was out making some...

    Two widely variable nepenthes

    Hello Nep nuts, After looking at nearly every photo of Nepenthes sanguinea and Nepenthes alata in Bobz's photo gallery, I was left wondering; How many forms of sanguinea and alata are out there?! They vary so much, you'd think you could split all the variations into 20 new species!! Why do...
