Well that worked out well for you D3E, buying the muluensis this year instead of last. He must have grown them on in tc. Mine were so small I didn't know if they were going to survive, but I've managed to keep them all alive for over one year now. The X TM and muluensis are starting to put some size on now, but the villosa's are small. So small that to feed mine, I've started cutting the pitcher lids off in order to stuff one freeze dried blood worm into each of the pitchers with a pair of my wife's tweezers. Hopefully now that I've been force-feeding them, they'll start to bulk up a little. And I agree, it's better to have small plants, taking up very little space, than to have none at all.

You guys in Calgary should take advantage of getting those huge maxima. They are nice Neps and one of the hardier, easier ones to grow, indoors or even outdoors in the summer months. If you get some, don't forget to post some pics...Good luck! ;D

I don't have a clue how much they are. They were too big for me Greengate is south on Macleod trail just past the canyon meadows overpass, you take the right turn off onto bannister road. It loops around the right, at the first set of lights you drive through and it's RIGHT there. www.greengate.ca/ you could call for the price of the nepenthes. Make sure you specify the large nepenthes, because there are lots of small ones too. Time to go home and plant my new baybes

Those plants were huge dash, I was thinking a little nep but these t hings are like people. My dad bought one, I will take pictures later, but he has one. Keehno also had a bunch of plants there too... alot that I dont have so I picked up a ton as well. I would have bought ya a nep hb but I just got home now. BTW theres only 5 big ones left. they are going for $35 ea, a steal of a deal. Ours has giant pitchers closeto the 9 inch mark easy. It also has like 6 growth points.
