Nepenthes Of Sabah

*Nepenthes Ampullaria

*Nepenthes Xalisaputrana

*Nepenthes Rajah - Largest Pitcher Plant in the World!

*Nepenthes Villosa

*Nepenthes Edwardsiana

The Nepenthes of Borneo (31 species) are one of the world's most remarkable groups of plants. They trap and eat animals, provide homes for others, and even make convenient day-time roosting sites for bats! Few plants can boast such a variety of bizarre features, but the Nepenthes of Borneo don't stop there, for there are many other facets of their biology which we still know very little about. On top of that, their home is the steaming tropical rain forests of Borneo: on the summits of mountains, high up in the tops of trees, or even by the sides of roads in major towns.

Greetings from Land Below The Wind @ Sabah, I’m Carol, 48 and had lived all my life here in Borneo Island of Malaysia, wonderful place surrounding by the beauty of nature..nice & friendly peoples around.

My greatest passion..of course collecting postcard & stamps from all over the world! :) thanks to PostCrossing for giving such opportunity to all postcard lovers:) I do like traveling but I’m not lucky enough for that :), but somehow via postcrossing, feels like I have been traveling all around to so many place! :-)..its been 16 years since I joined postcrossing and my collection keeps growing immensely.. thanks to everyone!

It’s a great feeling to open my postbox and knowing that postcard is there (instead of bills, statements, invoices, etc…..). Postcard arrived from someone somewhere in this world, at least we have a good reason to visit post office more often than usual, don’t you? :)

Peace & Love from Borneo Island..
