I saw some "Nepenthes hybrids" at Home Depot. I bought two and donated
them to the local Botanical Garden. They were the first carnivores
there. I plan to change that.

Anyway, I tracked the grower down (it was NOT hard) and found that they
are called Gubler's Orchids (http://www.gublers.com/). They, obviously,
have a good selection of orchids and a minor selection of CPs. Namely,
they have a Nepenthes hybrid, a Darlintonia, and a VFT. These look like
TC specimens. They go for $4 a piece or all three for $10. I think
it's excellent for beginners, as it's a wide variety of plants and if
they all die, it's 10 bucks!
