This must be just like living in paradise

For sure...it looks ideal.

Eau Em Jee!

Never has there been such a spectacular ensemble of unnamed and unidentifiable Nepenthes mutts!

I can't even recognize half of those plants' parents for the life of me!

Really nice shots, it makes me very jealous! I want to go back to Hawaii now.

Thanks Thez.

Thanks and you're welcome. His plants are just mindboggling-ly stunning

Holy Crap, that was awesome. Thanks for the pictures.

You're welcome.

Great pics. I've been meaning to visit for a long time - my godfather works at one of the telescopes. But I only recently learned that it's such a hotbed of Nepenthes growers. Makes a lot of sense. I know where I'm retiring.

Oh well, at least I get to go to ABG in July.

Dude, that's awesome. I am extremely jealous of you getting to see all those awesome plants. I hope I have a place with a greenhouse to rival that one day.

I'd be jealous of me too I need to have a mission in life outside of work, and right now it's visiting as many botanical gardens and otherwise greenhouses as I can find. And a lot of people just don't know what's in their back yard - I had to travel far and wide to get to these places!
