Hey Peter,

Meanwhile, in the other direction, I've been keeping my eyes open for
plants that survive well in the HEAT! Too many Sarracenia get all ratty
and crispy, when grown by desert dwellers. In the next issue of CPN we
will have a new Sarracenia cultivar that is a good plant for blast furnace
cultivators!
