The bi-annual garden show is back for the second time… This round, you can see many exotic plants from all over the world…. 
Borneo Exotics, the world’s leading pitcher plant nursery had set up a fantasy garden display of Nepenthes!! They have brought one of the rarest pitcher plant in the world for display!
The BLACK NEPENTHES TRUNCATA is native of the Philippines island of Mindanao. But due to the extensive logging in the area, this plant is believed to be extinct from their natural habitat.
The owner of Borneo Exotics, Rob Cantley told me that there are only 7 known specimens in cultivation in the entire world. Unfortunately, one of the plant was reported missing and there are only 6 of them left in good hands.
This pitcher plant showcased at the festival has extremely large pitchers! The pitchers are around half a metre tall and can contain 4 litres of fluid! It looks like a plant in the prehistoric times…
If you have the time, do go down to the Singapore Garden Festival at Suntec Convention Centre and view these beautiful plants! Not only showcasing just pitcher plants, you can see great landscaping designs by world class professionals and other plants like Orchids, Tillandsias and Bromeliads…
The exhibition ends at 1st August. Do come to Green Culture Singapore Booth A1 and say hi to me!
