I thought I'd share this picture a little more widely than I usually do as understand these do not occur very often. http://uk.geocities.com/strangeplants@btinternet.com/Ampullaria-1.jpg I was a bit disappointed about the size. A rather minuscule 1" or so. The plant is a N. ampullaria from...

So I recall a while back someone somewhere made a comment that there was not a lot of information on these guys and that that was the reason no one grew them or took up offers for them. I was drafting up something for a friend and decided to go whole hog so here you go. And please remember...
