20100208 – 20100210 Nepenthes “Mardi Gras” update
ShareIt’s come a long way from the small bud measuring 2 cm tall. It now measures nearly 8 cm tall and has filled out, inflated in fact and is almost ready to pop open its lid.

ShareWE can now see the effects of a couple of days of constant rain. Humidity at 90% or higher and fairly high temperatures suit pitcher plants.

ShareThere has been significant development over the last few days. The pitcher bud, although still a closed bud, is inflating, elongating, and gaining its reddish colouring. Also note the development of the ‘hairs’ or ‘beard’ on the lower lip and ridges. More pictures over the next few days.

ShareSlow growth means more of the same type of images. I’m keeping a close eye out for changes but limiting my shots to every other day until real changes happen.
