Hi folks

After my (fairly) recent cavort into the US of A last month, I'm back
in the UK. After listening in for all of January, I have a few
questions. Most of these, I'll mail next week (after my CP and myself
are finally re-united!). For starters: Utriculata. What is the
biggest trap size found for this genus? I'm intrigued by them, and
the possibility of growing them. *But* they aren't worth the effort
(IMO) unless the traps are visible with the naked eye, and can be
demonstrated (not necessarily "manually") to the lay-person.
For ease, I've decided to stick with "pot-plants", some Drosera, some
Dionea, and specialise in Saracenia. Perhaps diversifying into
Darlingtonia & Pinguicula in the future. I've decided Nepenthes are
not worth going for *yet*.
