Hey, who is this guy posting to our list?

Yeah. Right. Nepenthes. Sure...
Actually, recent discussions have led me to wonder what would
happen if the cops ever dropped by my place for a look. I can
see it now: "Well Mr. Allen, just how dangerous to small children
are these plants? Have you had a toxicology study done on these
`digestive enzymes'?". The thought wasn't as funny as I'd hoped.

That's what I get for making a casual, or is it causal?, remark.
It hasn't put up a stalk yet, since it died back to the crown for
a while before coming back in strength. However, I'll keep your
lack of interest in mind when I get a scape, or when the root
system is active enough to merit cuttings :-). Or, hmm, I coult
stuff a leaf cutting in my terrarium and maybe get small (non-
shippable) plants in a month. I'll try and remind myself to do it
tomorrow.
I'm still amazed that both capensis' I have are growing outdoors,
while the N. American species have gone dormant.
I've decided against trying to take leaf cuttings of my P. agnata
right now, since it's flowering. Time to find an "implement"
to do The Deed.
