>From my Nep experience it seems that many highlanders take about 5
months or thereabouts for the seed to ripen and you can safely
harvest the seed, if say you are collecting in the wild for
example, once the capsules are fully developed and you can feel
a little 'give' when you squeeze them slightly. Don't know time
for lowlanders, it maybe a bit shorter and I'm sure plenty of
growers can answer that for you. By the way I have N. arists
and they seem to behave rather like N. talangs and N. inermis
so they are easy as to grow and relatively quick too, but for me
they would not be worth hybridizing as the hybrids would squeal
somewhat!! The pitchers are a little odd though. My weeds are
not from tc. Sweet growing-- Ric.
