I bought some plants from this place summer 2011, mostly for a mate of mine who wanted to try a few.
Anyway I bought a small plant of N. spectabilis for myself, he went for a couple of large hanging basket plants.
He gave me some cutting material from N. x rebecca soper this spring and I now have four rooted, but they are growing very slowly and only one has produced a pitcher.

Meanwhile my N. spectabilis has grown, but the plant itself is hardly bigger than it was this time last year.

 

Great link Pete! Some real gems there, here are a couple of stand outs in my eyes................

They are great plants Longk.
But I do wonder if I can produce the growing conditions that they really need, bearing in mind I tend to like growing all kinds of things and I'm thinking these need specalist conditions to do really well.
As sirius says.

 

Have to agree, which is why the plastic stayed in my wallet on your link.
I do have the advantage of a season ticket to OBG too.

 

Guys.....you got to stop! I am going to end up collecting these again!

 

Just spent the past hour trawling the net for Neps.

You people bad. bad bad bad.

Sal, I blame you

 

Sirus I`m not looking ........
mine are just £2.50 each from my local market , as soon as spring will ever come , the guy from the market can get me all tray if i want and find them . he goes every week in holland to a plant auction .
From now on if i will ever see anything interesting will try to buy all of them and see if anyone from the forum want one or just put them on ebay .

 

Sal,

Wustaba's plants are a lot more than £2.50!
But a lot of them are very rare in cultivation and you can't get them anywhere else.
