Hi All
Having reported recently that my nepenthoides was not showing, a bit of =
warm weather over last two days and it is just pushing its nose up =
through the soil.
No sign yet of ringens, should be up by now.
Will keep all posted.

Hey Tony (and others).
Well, we should probably hold off on the congratulations until next =
spring! I give watti little to no chance here in this climate. Last =
year nepenthoides, speciosum, and other Himalayans bloomed then crashed =
- but I blame that on soil retaining too much moisture. Killed several =
that way. I'm trying a few again this year in different soil. It is =
interesting to note that the costatum blooming now is one of last =
summer's survivors, as is the amurense. I figure the Japanese varieties ==
should be easier for me in this climate. My urashimas and ringens have =
been kicking around here for almost 20 years now, the others are new but ==
I don't anticipate trouble from them. Probably shouldn't have said =
that.
I love to hear what everyone is growing, and its progress. I'd =
especially like to know what has worked - and what hasn't - for any of =
you folks in zones 7-9. I feel like I'm on a deserted island down here!
Thanks, Russell 8b
