Pitcher plants in Puncak
I'd like to add a couple of photos to the account of the Cibodas to Taman Safari walk below.
Besides the large mushroom in the picture we also found a small pitcher plant during the ascent of Gunung Joglo. Does anyone know if these are common in the Puncak forests? Are there lots of different kinds? Are they climbers or ground-growing? We haven't found many, but perhaps that's because we haven't been looking very closely!
The view is looking down toward the Puncak Pass hotel and surrounding area from Pasir Pangsalatan, just before reaching the Puncak ridgeline. To the right is the view back toward Cipanas from the same spot. This section of the route is quite thickly wooded so we were lucky to find a small opening in the vegetation to shoot these pictures.
