Huge Nepenthes Growing in Teluk Bahang

, January 27, 2010

A few days ago some huge Nepenthes were found growing in Teluk Bahang. So if you ever come to Teluk Bahang, don’t be shock to see large giant structures like this and the 3-horn rhino beetle at Penang Butterfly Farm.

This structure shows 3 different species of Nepenthes (monkey cups) that we have in Malaysia – Nepenthes albormaginata, Nepenthes ampullaria and Nepenthes gracilis.

In fact, there are just so many kinds of monkey cups in the wild. If you want to see various kinds of Nepenthes without going into a jungle, you can just come to our farm as we have plenty of species on display as we have at least 15-18 different species on display everyday.
