    My friend from France, Fabrice & his girlfriend are spending their vacation in Malaysian Borneo. This is their first time to see the wild pitcher plant of Borneo. On May 26, Robert & I brought them to see some beautiful pitcher plants in the secret gardens near our hometown, Kuching.



    The first location: A limestone hill near Kuching.






    Robert (left), Fabrice (right) and his girlfriend are busy taking the photo of Nepenthes northiana.





    The big pitcher of Nepenthes northiana.





    According to Robert, this big N. northiana has been there for so many years but luckily, the commercial collector didn't find it.

    The limestone formation and the natural ditch.





    Less than 3 metre from the first location where a natural cross hybrid species of pitcher plant, Nepenthes mirabilis x Nepenthes northiana was found last month, there is a bigger population of the same hybrid species. Robert found this hybrid long before yuping (from Kalimantan) & I discovered it last month.

    Fabrice must be 'over the moon' to have Robert and yourself taking them around. No way they can do this on their own, even with paid guides from tourist agencies!

    Cheers,
    I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?
