The other day I was sitting at my desk doing something very uninteresting, so my mind wondered onto the subject of nepenthes, as it often does...
I started to think about the real "classic" nepenthes that you see in nearly every bodies collections because they are in a way the cream of the crop.
I started compiling a list in my mind of just which species these were. It proved however to be a very difficult task. So I decided to post here to get other peoples opinions of which species are in their minds the real classics or must haves.
Heres my little, very incomplete list of the classic highlanders, since I dont grow lowlanders ...
I think the list was something like this...
the list:
N. maxima
N. alata
N. ventricosa
N. fusca
N. ramispina
N. veitchii
N. stenophylla
N. lowii
N. eymae(?)
N. truncata
N. sanguinea
N. copelandii(?)
And everyone has tried these at least(whether they succeeded or not LoL)
N. rajah
N. hamata
N. aristolochioides
Please tell me what you think i should add and what maybe shouldnt be there...
