Hi,
Here is a short film I shot at this years CPS/Kew open day. It shows the Nepenthes section of the Tropical Nursery at Kew. This is the area that is not open to the public apart from certain days each year.

cheers

What was the nep at 2:25? Was it a klossii?

Yes, klossii and aristo are the only two that look like that and the one shown is too long to be an aristo... At least I think...

I vote thorelii x aristolochiodes.

Thanks for all your kind words- glad you liked it.
Not sure about that Nep but would be very surprised if it was a klossii. More likely a BE hybrid I think.

cheers

When I studied at Kew it was policy only to grow species and naturally occurring hybrids. I left ten years ago though pretty sure this is still the case
