I have a similar problem in that I have a large number of Sarracenia
plants which really need dividing as they are outgrowing their pots.
I do not however have room to give these divided plants and would
like to diversify my collection. When I first joined this newsgroup
several months ago I asked if there was anyone in the Sydney region,
or even Australia who would like to swap these plants (S. leucophylla
and S. flava) but perhaps because of the small no. of Ausralian
subscribers I did not get any response. Well things have got to the
point where I am now offering FREE plants to anyone interested who
lives in closish proximity. Like John, I am appalled to think I might
have to compost the extras.

Is anyone out there interested?
