My latest unIDed nepenthes!

[ameliepoulain]

Got these from this nursery on the way back from UUM convo yesterday.

Beg my other half to stop at the numerous nurseries along the way from Penang - A. Setar - Sintok. After much whinning he relented, but choose only one nursery he said! I just pick one and oh boy was I glad, upon walking in, I saw a whole row of hanging HUGE nepenthes, with HUGE pitchers!

I was given only 15 minutes, just to check them out, but you guys know me right, mana boleh tgk saja, MUST buy!

It was a take it or leave situation, if I don't buy them then, I don't know when I'll be passing that way again. I just grab what I can (just 3 ), 1 huge pot with huge upper pitchers, 1 pot that's flowering & 1 what I assume to be a N. rafflesiana.
As usual, I don't know what types they are...

This is where you SIFUs comes in okay... help me ID them please....

Whole plant - Plant A



Pitchers & a hand for scale - Plant A





Dried out lower pitcher & some uppers - Plant A



What I've noticed is that all upper pitcher tendrills tend to vine where as the lower does not.

Whole Plant @ temporary shelter - Plant B

Pitchers - open & unopen
