About 50 miles from New Orleans, in coastal Mississippi, there is
a grower that raises S. drummondii in sufficient quantity that he
wholesales the pitchers as cut "flowers". They can be found in
season in the local grocery stores.

I have the feeling he grows them right in the swamp. If there are
any questions I could ask for you, let me know. It would be a
good excuse for an expedition over there.

I am a new member to this list and will be sending a short bio
and interest note later this evening.
