I believe you will find the prices coming down as more tissue culture plants
become available. The Tampa Bay CP club will be selling several Sarrs., two
Neps., and some Pings., Drosera and VFTs for about 3-4$ in 4 inch pots. But we
are not in it for any profit.
Mature specimens I believe will always cost more anywhere you go.

I alos think supply and demand operates here such that the rarer Neps. cost
alot more here in the US than in Europe or Australia.
