Hey,

I've just gotten in the mail a letter from Meryl Fraser in Queensland
Australia. Apparently Meryl is interested in communicating with Nepenthes
growers, and is especially interested in trading Nepenthes photographs.
He sent me a checklist of plants for which he has photos. His list includes
11 forms of N.alata, several forms of albo-marginata, several of ampullaria,
and so on. Anyone interested in communicating with him should write to him at

I've also received part of a catalogue from the French business, Nature et
Paysages. There are several Utrics on this list of interest to me, depending
upon the FF to $ conversion rate. Any of our European colleagues visit there
very often? I recall that Paul ``I'm not a Brit---I'm a European'' Temple
recently visited. I'm trying to figure out if a buying connection is possible
without having to deal with the usual horrendous minimum order nonsense.

P.S. Paul, I'm just pulling your chain!
