Hello, Peter!!
Thanks for the word on the inexpensive Nepenthes! For those in the
Chicago area, Oak Hill Gardens in one of the western suburbs-- well
known for their orchids for many years is selling what is probably the
exact same thing-- for $20. These also are very well grown. The ones I
picked up-- at that price I couldn't resist-- each had several growths,
were well pitchered, and had a leaf spread of 30 to 36 inches! They nicely
filled their 8 1/2 inch hanging pots, and several pitchers, as you point
out, are in the 5 to 6 inch range. For those in the market for Nepenthes
Coccinea, you can't go wrong! FWIW-- The plants are from a supplier in
Florida. That's all I could find out...
Good Thoughts and
Good Growing,
Lance
