Bonjour

see here my web site ( in french desolate , but you can translate with GOOGLE)

http://fern72.free.fr/siteweb/myrmecophile.html click on rubiaceae

there are many secondary entrances just click when you have the hand, including on the yellow arrow

Is this the one? what a beautiful plant! I saw Brads Greenhouse on youtube have one a couple of years ago. I would love to acquire one of these.

you are Spanish ?

have you a grow list?

@jeff, No I'm English but living in southern Spain in the Malaga region. I haven't made a grow list yet, ill get around to it today. I have in dionaea's, B52 and a few divisions, a Southwest Giant, Royal Red. In Nepenthes, 2x Bloody Mary 'ventricosa x ampullaria' and a 'ventricosa x lowii red' that I acquired this year. still a small plant but growing very vigorously. a couple of Capes and quite a few Cephalotus follicularis that I divided this year and they are growing very well.

OK.
may be we can swap a cephalotus with a myrmecodia tuberosa' dahlii' if you want .

do you know the malaga region well and the carnivorous plants that can be found there?

yes that sounds like a great trade. Ive spent years searching this area for CPs and supplies and I've not found much. They sell neps and vfts, capes and sarrs sometimes in the garden center but they don't look after them and they are largely damaged by incorrect watering, and then left to dry... I stick to buying plants online now.

not far from your home there are ping and drosophyllum zones 'in situ', you know

@jeff, I had no idea, in fact, I saw a youtube vid yesterday of a kid showing an area full of pings in the wild. I asked him if it was in Spain but not heard back yet, he was speaking Spanish but I did not catch the area. It would be wonderful to go and visit the area if it's close and see them growing wild.

I can maybe help you to find some, I know the region especially on the side of Jaen (ping) and Ronda (drosophyllum)
I give you my personal email to be able to chat better

pinguicula@free.fr

@jeff, Ronda! man that's about 1h from me, I'm just down the coast in Estepona. Jaen is close by too. Sure Jeff, just send me a PM, we can watsapp also if that works for you. Do you live in the area also?

I am French, but for ping which is in fact one of my main specialties with myrmecophiles plants and dorstenia, I went to see them 'in situ'

please send me by my e-mail your message

Very nice. Did you get any pictures?

see my web site for the ping, the dorstenia, the ant plant
