Cameron Highlands Nepenthes

As promised, here are the pictures from my recent trip to Cameron Highlands, Malaysia. The nepenthes in the wild come from Gunung Brinchang.
I apologise in advance for images which may be too large...

I don't understand...why aren't the pictures showing up?

Could someone please explain how to do it properly?
 
I copied one of your picture  URL let's see if I can get it to work.

EDIT: nope....guess you cannot link from that server for photos. Have you linked before with sucess from the same website host?

A side note, if you go to the properties of the X's and select the URL, and paste it in your address line it will show the picture.
 
Actually, most of my pictures show up just fine, except for one or two. Nep gracilis, you can't see any?
 
I don't see any. However, if I copy a photo link and paste it in my browser address window, I can get the image. Some ISPs do not allow direct linking to a jpg. Perhaps that is your problem.
 
Fantastic photos! You're very lucky to get to view the Nepenthes in the wild!
 
Hmm...all right. Let me try something else...
 
Thanks josh...but how is it you can see them?

You have a link where it says "other photos may be viewed here".
Those are really nice. I am not sure what the dainty unidentified ones are. my first thought was it N. gracillima, considering where you were, but could it also be pale uppers of macfarlanei?

Regards,

Joe

Hi Colinliew,

very nice pictures! The pale pitchers seem to be upper pitchers of N. macfarlanei.

Cheers Joachim

I pasted the URL from the "properties" list when you right click the mouse on the red "x" box. Curiously, after viewing each image in a new browser window, all the little red "x" boxes have the image now!

May I inquire as to where the plants listed as "in cultivation" are being cultivated? They really look great!

Thanks everyone, didn't know there was such a big difference between macfarlanei's upper and lower pitchers. I assume the ones I labelled "n. macfarlanei (?)" really are correct?

Swords, funnily enough that's what happened to me too, now most of them are visible. The ones in cultivation come from several places. "Unidentified Nepenthes" and "Unidentified Nepenthes 2" come from a privately-owned nursery called "Rose Valley" that specialised in growing roses. The N. sanguinea was being sold at one of the roadside garden shops.

A roadside garden shop was selling that!? Amazing! Did you get one?

Colin, I followed Swords advice on how to view your photos and I have to agree that they are quite spectacular. Fantastic photos and fantastic plants.

nice photos! i wish ive gone to the jungle walks in Genting Highlands!
You should have bought one of those neps!!! ive brought home CPs from Malaysia before (not field collected, bought). The only one i saw in Genting Highlands which was cultivated

Hi Colin,

Having been up there myself, I would confirm that the red pitchers are N. macfarlanei (unually red, should be brown). The white dainty one is also a macfarlanei lower picther.

My guess for the unidentifed pitcher 3 is a hybrid between macfarlanei x ramispina.

There is no reinwardtiana in Peninsular Malaysia. With a yellowish peristome, it could be a hybrid between mafarlanei and sanguiena.

Now the unidentified cultivated pitcher 2 looks interesting. Do you have a close up shot of the pitcher? Or can you enlarge the pitcher in the scan? Because the shape and coloration suggest it maybe a N. gracillima. Afterall, N. gracillima is known to grow in Gunung Tahan which is not very far by 4 wheels from Cameron Highlands.

Thanks for the great photos.

swords, yes, I did get one, but I'm worried because it may have been collected from the wild. I didn't get that beautiful one though.

Thanks Neil, I think I was exceptionally fortunate. You should have, wezx!

Choong, that's what I thought at first, but two pitchers of the same plant had "eye-spots", which seemed rather too coincidental for a hybrid. And the white one is a macfarlanei upper or lower? I'll see if I can enlarge the picture or get another one (which I think I have...somewhere).

Geocities and community.webshots.com don't allow remote links, i.e. you cannot post a pic here using geocities as a server...links are fine...

My account got suspended because of that! And I lost quite a few files...
