Perry,
I hear from Joachim Nerz it is quite difficult to grow _N.villosa_ (more
complicated than even _N.rajah_!). He hasn't got any either. Also, Andreas
Wistuba (who has some very very small seedling) won't be able to supply it
in the next months. _N.edwarsiana_ is not very much a different story. Are
you sure you could cultivate these montane (very highland) species, anyway?
I fear they require specific temperature (low) and humidity (high) conditions
quite different from the other (even the other highlanders) species. My
experience in _Nepenthes_ culture is, however, limited (=zero).
I'm afraid, _N.villosa_ is indeed a hard-to-find species.
Kind regards
Jan
