Hi all,this is my first image posting. These are ordinary pitcher plants-N.mirabilis,N.gracilis and some hybrids commonly found in lowlands by the roadside,near housing estates,lands that were bulldozed and flatten for future development. surprisingly thriving in harmony were the abundance population of sundews"Drosera burmannii" among the wild grasses and neps. D.burmannii are also found high up on mts 2,300 ft asl. Here are the photos-note the residential houses in the background.  sundews and mirabilis. Can you spot the sundews?  sundews and gracilis  more with mirabilis   The last 2 photos (same photo taken in different angle) along the roadside,shows the dead twigs and grasses.This area was regularly prune by council men using bush cutters. Result-mirabilis having many new basals growth and tiny pitchers   Robert  |

Waaa, the basels look so cute. All clumped together.
I also wan to see a bigger picture of the Sundews. Wondered if burmanii grows together with neps in the wild in Peninsular Malaysia. Have not seen it so far. But then again, I have not explored our jungles enough yet.
Thanks Robert. Waiting eagerly....

David, it is not uncommon to see sundews growing among other cps,just need some search esp.on open ground where the bushes are low. The place where i found the sundews are more concentrated around soft ground probably just inches above the water level. TS i hope the image is ok.I did slight cropping to size 3"x5" with unaltered resolution 300 pixel/inch  Robert |

Whoa, that's nice. Is the soil wet? It looked wet to me. What type of soil in this habitat? How big is the burmannii, I mean the length across. Are those burmannii under full sun? Just to get some info before growing them.

The soil is wet. I noted they have various diameter across ranging from 1 cent to 50cent(malaysian coin size). Grow in full direct sun -sunrise to sunset. Soil probably ultramafic ( hope i'm right-brownish/yellow colour common in malaysia). I saw in the nursery they use peat moss,New Zealand sphagnum moss and are growing very well. I had not try yet but going to |

Robert, I guess if I explore in more locations I would be able to find them. That is indeed a beautiful specimen. Hmm, maybe we can organise trips to the belukar and jungles in the near future.

that's true David. Also if in doubt ask the locals who know the locality well and with photos to show will make it easier.

Robert,
You are still lucky to be able to see Nepenthes all over Sarawak but sooner or later as when development catch up just like in Peninsular all will be gone and can only be found in remote places or deep in a jungle. All jungle in Peninsular have already been converted to oil palm plantation and they spray herbicide so that no other plants will not grow in between ... how sad.
