Some rare in situ photos - the plant density is getting to machete level in some areas. :lol:

Fresh N. veitchii (Bario, sg) pitcher; I'll get some better pictures once it colors up

I don't post much of my N. boschiana anymore since it's so big and inaccessible now but here's a nice little basal pitcher that wedged itself in a nice spot.

My BE N. chaniana has two basals coming out right now; this species is far too large to start clumping on me!

Your N. glandulifera is so glandular. You ever try sampling some nectar off of it?

I haven't ever tried it; this plant has tons of glands but is rarely sticky with nectar because it (and the rest of my plants) gets misted so frequently. I have been trying obsessively to smell it since everyone claims N. glandulifera smells weakly of honey, but I can't smell anything from it or any of the other random N. glandulifera I've been around.

The nectar tastes like mild honey. I haven't noticed an odor myself though. *goes to smell plant*

Nepenthes veitchii Bario, BE-3646; already much squatter than my Hose Mountain plant

I actually have 2 clones of N. singlana Belirang - the first one I got was this cutting, which finally made a nice pitcher; this clone can get pretty dark

Spring break means spring cleaning for the highland collection - came back to what I can only describe as Thripspocalypse II: The Thrippening, so I'll be picking up some Spinosad and practicing my battle cries. :mad: Meantime, here's some things that aren't too trashy right now:

<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/61904224@N05/33261518730/in/dateposted-public/" title="Nepenthes mira BE"><img src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/4/3735/33261518730_ba4209ddd8_z.jpg" width="640" height="427" alt="Nepenthes mira BE"></a><script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

My Nepenthes mira seems to abandoning its main growth for a nice-looking basal

This little N. robcantleyi clone put out a nice pitcher recently, I'm loving this pitcher to leaf ratio.

N. robcantleyi's closest relative, N. veitchii. :lol: This Hose Mountain form from MT is a great grower, I'm looking forward to more peristome soon.

A nice new N. truncata pitcher - this species seems like a thrips magnet but it doesn't seem to mind much.

N. burkei starting to make better pitchers - for an "easy species" this one's given me some trouble.

From the lowland collection, a Cambodian Nepenthes; I'm not entirely sure what species it is (bokorensis, kampotiana, or smilesii) because this one's got a weird mixture of traits.

Why does your Nepenthes robcantleyi have such small lids? And that sucks with the Nepenthes mira.

Mine has small lids too. I assume it's just an annoying thing it does for some odd reason.

N. robcantleyi (especially juveniles) seem prone to little lids in lower humidity, it's something they sometimes grow out of - I'm surprised Google Images doesn't have more pictures with tiny lids.

After two applications of Spinosad I've drastically reduced the thrips population and a lot of the plants that were limping along are showing some promising new growth. IIRC when I was reapplying over this last weekend, the N. mira main growth was sending out a nice new leaf and might even start pitchering again, so not all bad news.

Here's one plant that I completely ignore (so much that I didn't bother to post its picture with the others), a wavy leaf N. maxima clone from BE. For N. maxima, this one is a decidedly slow grower; its wacky inverse coloration is just starting to come in, it seems.

Back home for the summer, decided to work on trimming and rearranging the highland collection. The collection still has some thrips but they're down to a "manageable" level.

Nepenthes clipeata, can't beat the classics.

It's weird how the top of the copelandii pitcher looks like it is bent. Is nigra a difficult species? Shame that the lingulata didn't make it. Your campanulata looks amazing as always.

Pitcherless plants are the worst. Just months of waiting isn't it?

Loving your updates Christopher! Your intermittent updates makes my heart grow fonder. Lol! Thanks for sharing!

Nice pictures as always! Those campanulata are amazing, one of the few lowlanders I really want to try.

Thanks Howard! The N. copelandii pitcher is indeed bent, it formed underneath some other Nepenthes leaves. N. nigra has been temperamental for me and usually only pitchers well over the winter. It looks significantly better than last summer and I wouldn't be surprised if it has another pitcher flush soon.

It's not too bad since most of my plants are in pitcher, but since I don't soil fertilize anymore it's always a little nerve-wracking if a weaker plant stops pitchering.

That's too bad because I'll be here all summer! :lol:

N. campanulata is a great species, I wish it were more available though. I got my BE clone two years ago for a premium and haven't seen any domestically since. The learning curve with N. campanulata can be a little steep, it's much different than growing standard lowlanders but a very rewarding species especially when they start filling in.

Obligatory N. chaniana, I think we're getting closer to wild-size now :)

Got some new plants in this summer and some I'm trying again:

<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/61904224@N05/36207893836/in/dateposted-public/" title="Nepenthes lowii G.

Mulu AW"></a><script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
I don't grow a lot of "classic" highland species but I did finally pick up a small Nepenthes lowii; this is an AW clone from Gunung Mulu.

<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/61904224@N05/36252357351/in/dateposted-public/" title="Nepenthes peltata [BE-3464]"><img src="https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4355/36252357351_c73b65c401.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="Nepenthes peltata [BE-3464]"></a><script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
N. peltata from BE - I know there's suspicion of N. hamiguitanensis in this clone but it's still a nice one that I've wanted for a while.

<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/61904224@N05/36388984065/in/dateposted-public/" title="Nepenthes zygon"><img src="https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4385/36388984065_f692de6071.jpg" width="333" height="500" alt="Nepenthes zygon"></a><script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Doesn't look like much now but I've been looking for this plant for several years: N. zygon (N. copelandii Mt. Pasian).

<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/61904224@N05/35737764503/in/dateposted-public/" title="Nepenthes platychila NE"><img src="https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4403/35737764503_a972d5d62d.jpg" width="333" height="500" alt="Nepenthes platychila NE"></a><script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
New N. platychila clone from a domestic TC line, excited to see this one grow out.

<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/61904224@N05/35737763443/in/dateposted-public/" title="Nepenthes sp. 1 (Sumatra) BE"><img src="https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4412/35737763443_0d761eaa82.jpg" width="333" height="500" alt="Nepenthes sp. 1 (Sumatra) BE"></a><script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
First pitcher in my care, Nepenthes sp. 1 from BE

N. campanulata

N. campanulata basals can be a ways away from the main plant, almost reminds me of Darlingtonia stolons. I wonder how far this one would have gotten if it didn't hit the rock.

<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/61904224@N05/36547089035/in/dateposted-public/" title="Nepenthes vieillardii BE"><img src="https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4334/36547089035_7b0c360151.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="Nepenthes vieillardii BE"></a><script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Small N. vieillardii scrambling along; interesting looking intermediate pitcher.

N. bellii has been an easy species for me that holds on to many pitchers at once.

<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/61904224@N05/36150532940/in/dateposted-public/" title="Nepenthes fusca Sarawak BE"><img src="https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4434/36150532940_216d7fbfc4.jpg" width="333" height="500" alt="Nepenthes fusca Sarawak BE"></a><script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
N. fusca Sarawak

<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/61904224@N05/36421243106/in/dateposted-public/" title="Nepenthes boschiana Sakumbang [BE-3559]"><img src="https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4400/36421243106_8ab6b0e3bd.jpg" width="333" height="500" alt="Nepenthes boschiana Sakumbang [BE-3559]"></a><script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
My N. boschiana is pretty potbound, if I had the space this one could get much larger.

Big mama N. ventricosa keeps flowering, this is the second spike this year.

That's an interesting growth habit for the campanulata. I can't wait to see what the zygon pitchers look like.

Wonderfully grown plants as usual. Have you taken a look under the surface to see what those runners look like?
