Nepenthes Atlata aka Pitcher Plant

It took me 2 years to get this plant. Every time I went back for it, it was gone but there it was for me today. I've only seen these in the summer time. Nepenthes Atlata, aka Pitcher Plant and Monkey Cups (lol). They grow alongside of some orchids, primarily Angraecum and grow where temperature and humidity is high, typically in Madagascar, Borneo and Thailand. The cups are practically weightless, maybe an ounce, each. I just love these and thought you'd get a kick out of seeing these pics. Enjoy!
