I have never seen Neps at Home Depot near me, but have sen dying VFTs. Can
someone give me SKU numbers of these things, especially the third one,
described as "N. alata X N ventrata. It has a distinctive, blood red, ridged
and recurved persistome like ventricosa, and if grown in bright light
conditions, will produce large, nearly solid red pitchers. Around here we
call it N. alata "DeRoose"" in a reply to the attached note.

Thanks!
