Actually, no those comments aren't directed at you. I'm just a
satisfied customer of your shop, California Carnivores. But thank's
for all that info on the status of your plants and why some growers,
like you, may wait to name a plant. I'm glad to see that many messages
have been generated on this subject and that people are learning what
to do, and hopefully what not to do (ie. name something N.Splendiana.)
I just felt there was some breakdown in communications on this subject
(whether it be on the side of the growers not being thorough enough,
or the more scientifically endowed CPer's who can offer help/knowledge,
or both) that it really needed to be straightened out within the CP
communtiny. Looking at all these messages back and forth on this
subject, I see there was indeed a lot of confusion and misinformation
on cultivars going around.
But now if someone asks, I can can give them the *correct* answers
and not, "Well I don't really know..." Thank's go out to Jan for
fielding so many questions so thoroughly!

Sounds great!
Good Growing,
