A few things:

I just got an update from Peter Pauls. They have a limited
number of the following: D. anglica, D. linearis (shipped in
May), P. esseriana X moranensis, P. esseriana, P. caerula., plus
other, fairly common, stuff. Prices are high, and there are
no guarantees on the items

I was looking at my notes on my Nepenthes sowing, and I noticed
that, of the 5 or so species of Nepenthes I sowed, only N. fusca
isn't coming up in large numbers. Co-incidentally this is the
only species I didn't microwave the wet soil of before planting.
When I nuked the milled, dried spahgnum it was hot to the touch.
Perhaps the heat and wet help start germination?

I have a new flyer from Allen Lowrie at home, but haven't looked
at it yet.

Aside from Scott, anyone else going to be in the SF Bay Area the
next couple of weeks?
