[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Nepenthes rafflesiana is a very widespread lowland species. It is common in Borneo and parts of the Riau Archipelago, but has a restricted distribution in both Peninsular Malaysia and Sumatra. It is only widespread in the southeastern region of the Malay Peninsula, particularly in the state of Johor, where it is relatively abundant. N. rafflesiana has only been recorded from the west coast of Sumatra, between Indrapura and Barus.[2]

N. rafflesiana generally occurs in open, sandy, wet areas. It has been recorded from kerangas forest, secondary formations, margins of peat swamp forest, heath forest, and seaside cliffs. It grows at elevations ranging from sea-level to 1,200 m.[2]

Bonjour Adrian,
L'image manque un tout petit peu de contraste mais le sujet est relativement bien mis en valeur par l'appréciation de la finesse des détails et de la délicatesse des couleurs.
A bientôt sur TN pour de nouvelles aventures.
