I had to ask my boyfriend to PINCH me so that I know I'm not dreaming!

My conversation with my student today after my lesson.

Boy: "Are you interested in buying pitcher plants?"

Me: "Yah...but what are they?"

Boy: "My mum IMPORTS them...<my eyes popping out> we have quite a few of them at our condominium...the fast-grower nepenthes ventricosa..."

Me: "I'll like that!..." <drooling>

Boy: "And nepenthes truncata, the one with heart-shape leaves...and nepenthes rafflesiana..."

Me: "Tell your mum I'll got more than one interested buyer!!!"

hehehehehehehehhe...<grin><grin><grin>

CINDY! That's cheating! I'm so jealous

You're very lucky... How much are they, and who's this contact? I'd like a few too, as and when I have time...

Cindy: I'll really like to get mature ventricosa and truncata plants, since the ones i got fr malesiana are small and takes time to develop. Keep us informed of the prices and sizes. Thanks alot

 

[guqin]

share your info leh!!!!

 

[neilsingapore]

I'm always interested in any new nepenthes that are for sale,.....

 

 

[Cindy]

I haven't got the chance to speak to the boy again after that day...will do so when school re-opens. Just watch this thread.

Talking about being lucky, I'm not supposed to celebrate so soon 'cos it's not good to count my chickens before this "egg" hatch - advice for my zodiac animal this Monkey year!!!

 

[Cindy]

The egg broke...

Apparently, my student's mum imports neps in vials (tissue culture) from Malesiana!!!

She's been selling them at $10 each.

Well, well...

Btw, anyone of you live in a condo? And keep many neps? And temperate CPs as well? My student said his neighbour keeps lots of CPs and do log on to forums...who hah?

 

[guqin]

Not me! My neighbours are nurses!

 

[jalan kayu]

CP = Care Provider
Nurses = CPs (Medical)?

Hi Cindy,
Where about (area) is your student's home?

 

[guqin]

Thats a good one, JK!

 

[pond boy]

Not me no one around here grows them!(well except me) and I did get some U.gibba from redbud 2 years ago in with some water celery! Lol.

 

[neilsingapore]

Just got back from England.
$10 a vial? That is still cheaper than FEF. I bought 2 from them some time back, I think it is cheaper to buy the actual plant direct! FEF were selling them for around$15-$20.
Happy growing, Neil
p.s. Thanks JK - - it rained most of last week so my plants are fine.

Hi Neil,

Great to have you back. I hope everything is okay.
