Wonderful pictures, one day I'd like to head out there and visit. Very nice Nepenthes too.

Wow nices pictures! Gotta see Darlingtonia in the wild once in my life!
Nice blackish peristome too... What was that Nep with the yellowish peristome (the one where we can saw the owner (I presume) holding them)?

thanks all. I've finally finished my thoughts on my website...here's the direct Link: www.generasian.ca/cp_darlingtonia.htmlYes, that's Tom Kahl, the owner ...I can't remember the hybrid he's holding, but I will write to him to get it's name.

Tom-
the plant is N. x Trusmadiensis (Gunung Trusmadi) ...a natural hybrid with parents being N. lowii and N. macrophylla. I've got a few more pics of it (and one of it's back view) on my website, on the Tom Kahl slide show. An easier grower without too much demand for temperatures. The inside of the traps were chock full of ants...unfortunately my pics didn't turn out to show it.

On one of the photos above (inserted here again for your info), shows an old info marker board. This large (4' x 8') board has been around for over 40+ years, and I wondered what had been written on the bottom of that old marker board: Luckily, a nearby town Library has some old archival photos... and if you check the Salem history link you provided says ( photos.salemhistory.org/cdm4/item_viewer.php?CISOROOT=/max&CISOPTR=2455&REC=5 ) : photo taken by Ben Maxwell, 1965. Photo courtesty of Salem Public Library Archives. As you can see, the old photo clearly reads" So over 40 years later, the "lost code" is found preserved in an old B/W photo. Remarkable isn't it? This whole technology and sharing of resources!
