Looks like an interesting place. I noticed on this page of their site that there's a photo of what looks like a fuzzy purple nepenthes (scroll right). Does anyone know what kind of plant this is?

Just going off topic a bit here, the place was also used in a Bond movie Die Another Day.

Nice!
I really love that place, the tropical biome is almost as bad as a steam room. Perfect for Nepenthes, and those really annoying tiny black ants!
Glad you got pics of the neps Connor!

Great, thanks for the info! They're gorgeous, and it's fascinating how the flowers have evolved to resemble nepenthes (or vice versa) with the same goal of attracting insects, but for different functions.
