N. platychila and others

[neps]

Had a few spare hours today, and managed to take a few
photos that didn't turn out too badly. Thought I would share
them with all of you, since I surely enjoy all the pictures that
you post!

N. platychila upper pitcher.

Still pretty small, but it should be spectacular: N. hurrelliana.

N. murudensis upper pitcher; pretty uncommon.

N. muluensis lower pitcher.

An interesting hybrid: N. x tanengensis x hamata.

N. vogelii upper pitcher.

Last, but not least, my favorite variety of N. tobaica.

WOW those are pretty neat!

AMAZING! How is your platychilla so big?!

Hi Neps, as usual, very impressive display. The vogelii is a photo to remember. Unique pitcher shape. Your platychila is amazing too. I also understood one thing about hurrelliana, it definitely has some veitchii genes in it, even though, it is a new species. The hairy tendrils and leaves speak for themselves, not to mention the flary peristome.

In summary, congratulations. I think your photos have more than one purpose,besides entertainment, they teach us about taxonomy of rare nepenthes species. Thanks for that

Thanks to everyone for your kind words. I'm pleased that
you enjoy the images. I used a macro lens and ring flash
to capture them.

If anyone has any questions about the cultivation of these
plants, please don't hesitate to ask....

 

[fly-catchers]

Great looking plants Jeff as always

What sort of conditions do you grow N. murudensis under? Mine has resolutely refused to produce pitchers since I got it a year ago. Its been a very slow grower and the leaves tend to curl round,with long tendrils. The pitcher tips remain slightly green as if they will develop but nothing happens. I have tended to grow it in my light humid area of my Neps house. Any clues?

cheers

Hi Bill,

Quote[/b] ]What sort of conditions do you grow N. murudensis under?

I grow this species under very cool conditions. Night temps
typically are 7 to 10 C, with days in the neighborhood of 25 C.
Other than that, it's quite easy.

Best of luck!
