N. 'viking'









This species was newly described as N. mirabilis var. globosa, but I still prefer the the name the Thais use: N. 'viking'. I have been acquiring different forms for a bit more than a year now and have many select forms that I have received directly from Thailand, thanks to connections made on eBay (the Thais I have dealt with are wonderfully nice individuals). These pictures are of a new plant that from Thailand that I purchased off of eBay. The picture listed on eBay gave no hint as to how spectacular this plant was. This is now my best form of the species.
