Lookin good mato! How long did it take to tell that that was an x kinabaluensis?
 
  • #565

Thanks, guys. @tje25 I'm actually not sure that it is. It appears to be, but it's somewhat impossible to tell at this size. These seedlings were distributed as, and the seed presumably collected from, N. villosa, but have the obvious sub-peltate tendril attachment of N. rajah.

I'll be watching with interest on that potential x kinabaluensis! I am also very impressed with the little N. rajahs. Cool. :cool:

I visited The Bovees Nursery this weekend, which is home to arguably the second largest collection of Vireya Rhododendrons in the world. More often than not, if there are Nepenthes growing in an area, Vireyas will be nearby. OregonCP was also there, and since he did a much better job of labeling his photos, I'll leave it to him to post those if he feels like it.

Here are a few species that were in bloom:

Rhododendron wrightianum by Aspidistra Flier, on Flickr

Rhododendron rarum by Aspidistra Flier, on Flickr

Rhododendron stenophyllum ssp. stenophyllum by Aspidistra Flier, on Flickr ( This subspecies is endemic to Kinabalu)

Rhododendron himantodes var. himantodes by Aspidistra Flier, on Flickr



And a few plants in my tent

Man, its uncanny how much that young N. rajah looks like a giant N. argentii.

The color on the burbidgeae is just great!

  • #575
Ah, forgot to take a photo of the argentii. I was going to do that after your last comment, Dex.

I picked up a PNG species, R. armitii, which can can be seen here http://www.vireya.net/gallery-spA.htm. They currently have quite a lot of species listed on their website that are somewhat difficult to find, so I placed an order when I got home (I recommend checking out the website). Those should be ready in the Spring.
