Hey Group, I just have to share these pics. I recieved a very small rooted leaf division from a friend last spring or summer. I want to show what grew of it. Remember this plant is less than a year old from a cutting, I can't wait to see what it matures into! Purpman ;D

Size does matter. I wonder if that's a tetraploid.

Carl, The only stores I know in canada is keehns and hawaiianB. Neither offer cephs as of date. Which other stores am I missing? Our nursery (it isn't big) offers plants time to time (divisions from our personal collection) and we offer cp seed as well. We've got some nice photos on our site from trips south on our site as well. Some folks remember us as Niagara Carnivores, then Niagara Exotics, CPCAN and now back to Niagara Carnivores. Don't ask, don't why we changed the name so many times. When this plant starts to divide and is big enough to take leaf cuttings, I plan on propping and offering it for sale. The only thing is , I don't know how long away that will be. The link to our site is www.vaxxine.com/cpcan if you're interested. It may be posted in the nursery threads somewhere. purpman

My old friend, Kevin Snively, tried to bring over some mature cephalotus in to Canada last year when he visited me. But unfortunatel, honest Kev declared them as house plants...and into the orange bins they went. I will visit Kev and family later this year, and I will bring them back as part of my left over salads.
I update you all on my successes, or if I need any of you to raise bail to get me out ;-)

interesting site there purpman! hope you surely can get some plants on sale and hopefully I get more room to expand my collection.
@ Flytrap,
Don't risk it dude. Its not worth it. I was just kidding. Realising what I did with the ping itself was kinda risky and bad. its a good thing they didn't check orelse I would have been in trouble. Don't bother risking the consequences and a police record. Its un-necessary. I guess we all just have to wait till some good seller here can get the plants up for sale.
cheers,
varun

It's so easy to hide little cuttings, I'm sure you'll be fine. Also they only target people if they get tips.
