I have s.minor, s.psittacina Giant, flava etc.....the most rare is the 18 inch high sarracenia & also the giant s.psittacina which I got from Laman 2005 , from a Holland exhibitor. One pic is a community pot I made....    Here are 2 more pics S.minor hybrid ( it just recovered from semi-dormancy, used to be twice the size )  S.flava ( a friend bought this for me from his morning market, can be found in Sg buloh too )  here is the whitish trumpets i got. i know it ain`t s.leucophylla but it`s the closest i`ve seen in m`sia  gift from Lau, a clean semi-green form of compact s.purpurea. the one i actually wanted is pure green, this one has similiar shape but has red markings. notice the `hood` or collar is sharp & pointy.  |

Jeff : trial & error ? heheh. I`ve killed a few along the way but all in all, I`ve propagated more than I`ve killed off in the past. So I`m at p-e-a-c-e.......*smile*
S`pore got wide open spaces under the sun for you to grow CPs well ? how do you do it Jeff ? to me, CPs MUST be in the open natural outdoors, otherwise it won`t do as well.

Very true tarence. This is my experience with Nepenthes too. I have them grown under artificial lights, by the window, under shade cloth and at the porch. Those that are most robusts are those grown outdoors where they receive sun for most of the day.

I confirm it is a s.minor.......like i said, it`s recovering from semi-dormancy. At its peak, it has `windows` at the back of its hood. It`s only about 7 inches tall now, capable of reaching well over a foot when it recovers fully.
btw, my friends & i have been growing CPs for a couple of years now...we don`t have to rely on photos or textbook knowledge anymore now after all the research we`ve done & the countless plants we`ve seen. Have you seen a `live` one before ? coz you asked me whether it can be grown here..... Haha, we`ve been growing it for years. Cheers Zak.
