Few months back I shared a range of Pitcher Plant pics.... but in India only single species, Nepenthes khasiana is found. You all would be surprised to know that Dr. C. Sathish Kumar is an authority on Orchids and insectivorous plants are actually his kind of second love :). We have been very close to each other and I always consider him as my Mahaguru. Glad you could interact with him. Best regards Pankaj
