Borneo and its nepenthes: a pictorial tour

[Nep_grower]

Few more N. rafflesiana lowers as per request:

Intermediate pitcher?

Also, I was playing around with MS Paint and came up with this.  I think it would make quite a nice book cover.  

 

[srduggins]

Love that book cover, where can I buy the book? I would also love to see a picture of Rajah, (or any of the neps) with something else in the picture for size comparison.

Nep_grower you're really spoiling us with all these wonderful photos! Helps me look forward to travelling to SE Asia all the more!

Cheers,

Amori

This is really the only one I have.  Dried N. rajah pitcher with Canon Ixus camera.

It was fun while it lasted. I agree with all of the positive comments about your wonderful photos. I think you win post of the year!

How about some details on the trip? How lond did it take to get there? Did you make all the arrangements yourself or did you use a travel agency/guide? Any recomendations?

I will make the trip myself on day!

[lol]

you could probably signup with yahoo or msn and use that email to make a new photobucket account. Thanks a lot for the rafflesiana pics!! I love the pink and red one.

These are quite literally some of the most stunning pictures I've seen in my entire life. I'm still a little shocked... lol.. Thanks a lot for sharing these! If you like, I can ask my dad if we could host some images for you. I don't think it should be a problem as I host images all the time and yours have pretty small file sizes. PM me if you're interested, it's the very least I can offer in return for you showing us the wonderful pictures!

 

[Nep_grower]

Thanks for the offer, but you need not go the trouble as I will host them on imageshack, which has virtually unlimited bandwidth for free (100 mb per pic per hour). However, this will take some time for ~100 photos.

I swear and am still swearing that these are the best collection of photos to hit the forums since...EVER! And to think these are only a few hours by plane from where I live. Man Michael you should have visited me

...and the pictures would still have made an impact the 2nd time round.

Jason

BTW you are not the same 'Michael' as is 'rainforest carnivores' on the pitcher plant forum, are you?

 

[chesara]

Wow

Bye for now Julian

 

[Nep_grower]

Thank you all for your comments.

I will try to re-upload the images in the near future.

Nope.

 

[Nep_grower]

All photos are back up now. The good news is this time they should remain so permanently. =)

Indeed...

Excellent photo series. I like the combination of perfection and imperfection that is seen in the wild plants. The harsh conditions they grow in are obvious in the photos.

N villosa lower pitcher.  Note the beautifully intricate peristome.

I really liked this pitcher or villosa, very strong colors and big teeth.
