OMG where is the Kew Gardens? I felt like I have been here.

Those giant water lilies are unbelievable! The flava var. rugelii looks massive! I hope I can get over there this winter.

The waterlilies were pretty amazing, the flavas were pretty great as well!

@helilover: Kew gardens is just outside London, England.

I went there in July (or maybe Autumn?). It's a great place! Missed the outdoor CP bog though :/

Did you get to see the Nepenthes collection in the private nursery? Apparently if you ask nicely you sometimes get a tour of it.

No I did not see the Nepenthes...

If I had known I would have asked. I will have to enquire if I ever visit the UK again!

I guess their Nepenthes display was under construction but they did have a couple sickly ventricosas and something else on display in the main CP room.
