This has been a long standing question for some time. Most of the Home
Depots that carry any carnivores get them from Gubler's Orchids. There
appear to be at least 3 clones out there. Trent Meeks (Are you out
there?) had some opinions on where they originated from. One is very N.
maxima like, one is very N x coccinea like and another is N. alata like.
You will have to wait till it matures to see which you have got. There
are apparently other distributors about selling a difficult to grow clone
of N madagascariensis.
