US$3 Nepenthes

Well, last night I saw something I hoped for, but really never
expected to see...nice looking Nepenthes madagascarensis for $3 at a
hardware store. The plants were tissue culture produced and had the
mysterious "Little Pot of Horrors" label on it. Each pot had two
crowns with leaves up to 2.5 inches long and while tender the plants
looked healthy. I almost didn't look at the plants as they were in
the standard little plastic tomb container. Not a bad way to spend $3
even if the plant turns out not to be N. madagascarensis.

Take care!
