Yes, I can appreciate your enthusiasm, but wouldn't it be nice if this didn't have to cost you a pound of heartflesh to grow this plant? Prices like this just amaze me, and it seems sad that the people who love them the most are the hardest hit. I wish you success with your other plants, I know what is it like to pay a lot and lose a valuable plant. I had one of the first introductions of Heliamphora minor back in the 70's, and lost it. I still remember the anguish. It was 55.00 back then, and a fortune to me. It also taught me a hard lesson about buying and accepting species which I did not have conditions to support. I hope this time things will be different. There is a corollary to Murphy's Law that states in any given instance, the most rare and expensive plants will always be the first ones to undergo damage. If a shelf falls, the rare plant will shatter. Bug infestations will hit the prized plants first, and any cultural mistakes will affect these plants more quickly than any others.
