Hi,
I imported several cuttings of the plants from Thailand. A few have been in bloom this last summer. I thought that the plant
called "viking" might be a mirabilis cross with xhookeriana. I brought back several plants from Thailand that were xhookeriana.
Alot of the seed of N. smilesii and kampotiana/anamensis sprouted and I hope to release some next summer. The seed looked immature but has sprouted for the last four years. I did find two distinct types of Nepenthes from the highlands. One I have had for years sold as a true N. kampotina from Orgel's I saw on Phu Kadung. A small trap type plant, gracilis looking. The other was much larger with different leaves and traps. When I transplant them next spring I'l look for the tuberous roots.
Truly,
Tom
