Hey everyone, I work at a Butterfly Gardens and have been nursing the Nepenthes back to life and bringing in new ones. Its only been a few months and they've really taken off. Can't wait to see what they're be like in a year. I'll be adding many more pictures over the next few weeks. Nepenthes rafflesiana   |

Nepenthes are such cool plants... If I didn't have a flat full of orchids, I would find some space for Nepenthes too!

Thanks Andrew, the white one opens a new pitcher everyone week and half haha the other one is a little slower growing. Both used to be mine but they got donated to the gardens once they got too big, same with my large Miranda, globosa, ventricosa, gracilis.... Things are going to get out of hand in a year or two. Just wait for some of the truncata pitcher  Francis, you should find yourself at least one Nepenthes. There are quite a few that stay smaller and compact, plus hybrids are really easy to grow  |

Here is two different N. Ventrata clones, I always thought there was only one clone that was mass produced but these guys are right next to each other and each one has dozens of pitchers of them. They are consistently these colours and don't overlap. Typical  Red  |

My 'Ventrata' looks very similar to your first photo, never seen such a red form.
Francis; I agree with Justin, there has to be some room for a Nepenthes or two!
