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.

@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.

@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.
