Hey guys I just wanted to share a few snap shots of my seed grown N. Rafflesiana!
Keehn's carnivores had got a shipment of the little guys in from Borneo-Exotics. Obviously I couldn't resist so I added one to my order at the time . I don't really have anything against tissue culture but if a seed grown plant presents itself (especially a nepenthes rafflesiana!) I try to get it in my collection! Anyways this little one is doing great and looks really cool!
Enjoy
**I would like to edit this post seeing as I somehow made the mistake of thinking that Rick (http://www.keehnscarnivores.com/) acquired these seed grown N. Rafflesianas from Borneo exotics which was not the case. Rick grew these seeds himself which makes them very special plants considering not many neps offered these days are seed grown (most seem to be tissue cultured or cuttings). In conclusion, I just wanted to ensure I corrected myself seeing as Rick really deserves this credit!
Thanks**
