This guy claims to have the largest collection of FLAVA in the WORLD. He is north of Seattle but does not allow visitors to his greenhouses. He "Says" he has plans to in the future. If I had that kind of collection I would want it open to the public, but that's just me. Scroll down to Description. Nice looking plants though.

I've heard of him, and heard good things about him, but never purchased from him.
As to not allowing visitors, that's not surprising, and I wouldn't be surprised if he never allowed them. There have been many stories about growers allowing people to come look, only to get robbed a few days later. Mostly losing a lot of plants worth a few bucks each. But it adds up. There was one guy who was hit, and the thieves bypassed many uncommon plants to hit his rare, high dollar Neps. A few plants were valued in the low to mid four figures. To my knowledge, none of those plants have ever resurfaced.

I remember reading about that high-end theft. Some mature and rare plants were taken. heads-up-nepenthes-theft-in-bay-area-ca ... 53547.html

OK, I guess it does make sense now that you mention it. Just a shame what others do that ruin it for the rest of us. I would love to visit a place like that.
