Hi,I was just wandering whether Triphyophyllum and/or Nepenthes villosa or in
cultivation and if anyone sells these plants/seeds because I have never heard
of someone who has these plants.Also about the S. flowers,you don't have to go
through the trouble of giving late bloomers an early start just store the
early bloomers pollen and wait for the late bloomers to bloom.You can do this
by taking a small vial or container and placing the pollen in it,leaving it's
cap off,thenput a layer of silica gel at the bottom of a larger container that
the first container can set in , close the cap of the second jar and let sit
at room temperature for 3-4 hours,then place a that in a larger container with
another layer of silica gel at the bottom and close the lid. Finally , place
in a FREEZER untill needed and when you take it out let it sit at room
temperature for 15 min. before you take out the pollen.Hope this helps.The
information came from the book "Carnivorous Plants of the World" by James and
Patricia Pietropaolo , on pages 183-186.
Sincerely,
Robert Hood
