Watching the latter part of the video, with the mosquitoes swarming the camera made me want to run away shaking my arms around my head... bloody mosquitoes!! Spectacular film, and I hope the field of plant discovery, conservation, and study continues to expand! I'm quite interested in furthering the study into orchids and carnivorous plants myself, having spent much of my childhood living right next to the Copenhagen Botanical Garden, with a sizable collection of amazing plants. Once, a botanist who had taken a liking to the curious 10 year-old me took me into a tunnel under the 200 year-old "palm house" (the oldest still-standing "large" greenhouse in the world) to show me their restricted plant laboratories. They have lots of tissue cultures of rare plants they distribute between botanical gardens for plant preservation purposes, and even had some huge specimens of rare nepenthes, cephalotus and heliamphora growing in bog trays under gigantic lights and humidifiers. Pursuing botany is something I have taken to with pride, curiosity, and excitement!

Congratulations guys for your determination to find back this species, with a very entertaining/interesting video. Never been to see south-east Asian pitcher plants, but visited their cousins on Morne Seychellois: N. pervillei (Seychelles main island of Mahé). And in Madagascar on Pic Saint Louis and strangely, at sea level, in the sea spray of Lokaro & Evatra: N. madagascariensis. Would love to join an orchid/pitcher expedition to Borneo & NG (I'll check Redfern)

Local people eat expensive price plants which sale at the house plant market as their launch meal (lol).
I keep thinking about how nice it would have been to have access to a helicopter, to rappel down (and climb back on) into the jungle on the mountain ranges. It would save an enormous amount of time I think. Was it not possible to get a helicopter in any of these expeditions? Or was it just because you would miss the opportunity to trek the forest on the way to the Nepenthes?
@EJhoedjevanpap8 жыл бұрын
Ethan Shankar that you are gifted with eagle eyes doesn't mean that the rest of the human population can spot Nephentes from a helicopter;)
@Ethanshankar8 жыл бұрын
I just meant to get to and from the difficult-to-access peaks. Remember: a helicopter can hover as close as you want to a point of interest. So you could skim the treeline in search of the upper pitchers of highland species for example, then disembark over a clearing like the ones Stewart Mcpherson encountered at the top of the mountain to get a closer look. But I guess this would have ruined the challenge that he was seeking when he climbed from the base the "old fashioned" way. Now on his expedition to the Tepuis of Venezuela, he had no choice but to use a helicopter to get to the tops of those plateaus. He talks about it in the video on this channel titled " Stewart McPherson - RHS Talk 6th May 2014" . That was awesome!

If that tribe's traditions change due to encroaching modernity, all the better, because it's pretty vile that they mutilate their women in that fashion - I'd try to document it for posterity, then try to convince them to knock that shit off. That aside, beautiful Nepenthes always make a worthwhile visit.

We're thinking individuals, can see that it's objectively retarded and vile, and therefore are perfectly within our rights to judge it and claim it should change.

Though I take back the part of judging keep in mind that one of the hardest things to understand is other cultures than our own. As we do not know the context we should not try and claim it our right to change. In the end we don't need to agree on this.

You're not explaining the context. He said "poor things" jokingly in reference to the locals being excited about seeing who arrived in the planes only to find "plant crazed botanists" and not a more interesting group of people. He didn't mean it in a condescending way, but more as a way to poke fun at the group of researchers.

Rezvan, the wowser, didn't understand the sense in which the expression was used; this common English construction expresses sympathy (the narrator imagines the villagers disappointed to be visited by mere botanists). You ten idiots who applauded rezvan's ignorant bleating, you should have watched the video. 'Consider your language', definitely.
