Second location...







The plants...



















This lid is kinda huge for the pitcher size...


Found a metal bridge ellevated above the slope. After following it, we found out it is for workers to go to the cable car support pole to service it.






N.macfarlanei... ;D






Ok, guess what!!! WE FOUND N. CAMPANULATA... See...


Ok, ok, just kidding. Its a upper of N. ramispina which is more stout and has a wide peristome. Doesn't it look like campanulata? ;D

Found some weird slug on the inner walls of the pitchers. Only saw this in 3 picthers...


zoom in of the slugs...


Anybody can identify them...?

More pictures...







The vine of ramispina


This upper looks like a snake to me, haa, haa...












inflorencences


Puddles of water in their environment


Found a section where a whole bunch of them have already died. Wonder why...


Found this huge sanguinea at a cliff. The cliff is a vertical drop of a couple of hundered meters. Can't really estimate. Just know that the trees below are only about 3 inches in diameter.

... that's me by the way.

David,

The picture entitling N. macfarlanei, I suspect is not true macfarlanei but its hybrid with ramispina - hence its dark coloration. Macfarlanei is more creamy in colour.

Nice photos David.

Choong

Nice pictures David. They look amazing, just too bad that they are highlanders.

Btw, you might not want to show your wife the last picture of you by the cliff.

You might be right Choong. I remembered a macfarlanei that I saw in another hill. The red is much brighter too.

Haa, haa, too late Isaac. She saw the last picture and was going on and on about how dangerous it was and that I am not allowed to go to anymore trips like these. I think she's just half playing with me. Just too excited and wanted to show her the pictures. Will take your advise in the future.

Ahhh...I can imagine the nagging already. ;D

Can't get this out of my head!!



You know how much therapy I had to undergo just to get the red amps that Robert posted out of my head?!

Too late already...

Cheers,
Isaac
