Subject: Variegated Nepenthes alata

In an old back-issue of Carnivorous Plant Newsletter, I happened to notice
a photograph of a Nepenthes alata which was variegated. That is, broad
streaks of the leaves were composed of unpigmented tissue. Very
interesting.

I was wondering if you die-hard Nepenthes growers out there know if this
plant is in wide cultivation, is barely in cultivation, or is very rare.
I'd be extremely interested in talking to anyone who has this plant. Don't
worry, I'm not going to hit you up for a plant...I'm gathering
information, not cuttings!

Cheers
