I still have plenty of Nepenthes rooted cuttings for trade or sale.
Trading is preferred. I'll trade for other CP species I don't have
(other Nepenthes preferred), or for orchids (awarded clones - esp
Cattleya - or interesting species). Price is $10 per plant. Free
postage for USA addresses.
The Nepenthes I have are: N. x boissiensis, N. x boissiensis 'rubra'
(plenty of these), N. x (mixta x mirabilis) (green pitchers, sort of
looks like ampullaria), N. x trichocarpa (small gracilis-like plant,
pitchers speckled red - natural hybrid between gracilis and ampullaria),
N. x wrigleyana (Kosobe) N. x mixta 'superba' (just one now - probably
more later - for trade only), N. tobaica (just one now - for trade
only).
Barry, when are you leaving on your trip? I hear the Botanical Gardens
in Atlanta is great (Fuqua Conservatory?). Near Biloxi is Bellingrath
Gardens - this garden stinks (for CP), but across the road is a HUGE
fenced off area - the fence parallels the road for several miles. The
area is a large bog with widely spaced pine trees and between the trees
are lots and lots of Sarracenia. Gute Fahrt!
Somebody in our group wrote that a European CP periodical announced the
sale of N. rajah in vitro. This was several months ago. The price was less
than $100 if I remember right. Is the offer still good? Could someone
supply the name and address and exact price? Was that Thomas Alt who was
selling the plant?
My seedling N. (ventricosa x inermis) has 3 cm. pitchers. Looks like it
will favor the N. ventricosa parent. N. (ventricosa x (bongso x carunculata))
has 1 cm. pitchers (the seedlings have had a set-back - probable snail
damage). Most of the seedlings of a possible D. (capensis x dielsiana)
cross look like pure D. capensis - theres several still that are still
maturing.
