You've gotta love the tropics. Good thing these don't grow too big... ;^] ----- * Nepenthes-Tropical Pitcher Plants, Monkey Cups * Species: Nepenthes Fusca (Triplett clone)- A fine terrarium grower with long cylindrical pitchers in a variety of colors. The lid on mature plants is small and triangular. Prefers cool nights but is quite tolerant. Nepenthes are native primarily to the Malaysian region, India and Australia. They form wonderful hanging pitchers that are sure to attract attention. Some are vines while others form rosettes. Most make two or more types of pitchers:lower pitchers are often more rotund and arise from stems closer to the ground, upper pitchers are often more slender, small and arise from climbing stems which are farther from the roots. Upper pitchers usually have a tendril that wraps around branches, etc. before forming the pitcher; this is one way Nepenthes can climb into/above surrounding vegetation. ----- Thanks for your chilly comments on my last upload, The Ice Queen
