Hi Pipolz,

Ok, I had a non working mood evening, so I also picked some backstage pictures, that didn't make it to my website yet.
Enjoy your meal!

Hi Volker:

Nice to see your plants again. I notice that you mostly have either lowlands or intermediate hybrids. What has been your experience with highlands?. Is it possible to grow these in Manila?

Hi Gus,
I just moved a few years ago to the Philippines and played around with some lowlanders to test conditions - just being relaxed (for some reason I find rafflesianas anyway nicer than rajahs) and careful about getting more demanding plants. Due to dry winds it wasn't as easy as I thought, so I had to setup a greenhouse with shade cloth, plastic walls and irrigation system. Now everything seems fine and I am starting with more highlanders, which are doing very fine even though small.
Check herefor my highlanders.

Hi Volker
Some nice looking plants there,nice site to.I like the Raffs,ive never managed to get mine to do a lot,not warm enough i guess.
Bye for now Julian
 
Hi Julian,
Thanks. I agree that there are faster growing plants than raffs, although it seems that the 'Sandakan'/alata and especially 'Johore' grows faster than than the 'red squat' and 'giant'. Or am I dreaming?
