Trent here in south Florida. I've noticed on several occasions a sweet,
citric aroma exuding from certain Nepenthes pitchers, N. Dyeriana, N. "East
Everglades" (not officially registered...(kampotiana x maxima) x (kampotiana
x Mixta)) and a highland N. veitchii. On a humid, warm day, the aroma can be
powerful. Some people do not notice this distinctive aroma, others pick it
up as soon as they step in the greenhouse, asking "What's in bloom?" Anybody
else out there notice this? Which Nepenthes? Has any field observation shown
strong scented Nepenthes species attracting insects? I'm referring to
pitcher aroma, not flowers.
Until later,
