Giant & Rare Nepenthes

A Pitcher Plant Cutting

1.3 feet tall, 5 inches wide at the broadest girdle

The huge pitchers dwarf the basin

A wild orchid collector was shocked to have bumped into a rare giant pitcher plant.

The nepenthes is very difficult to take as they grow only on steep sides and edges of limestone mountains. He only found one vine. Of that vine he managed to make only 10 cuttings.
