This was a bud when I bought the plant a week ago:
Gastro.

Paph venustum - love the leaves, can't wait for it to get older and flower (bought this little guy online)

1. Phal John Diamond 'TH-32' x Phal tetraspis (just read the label...that's complicated!)

Thanks
Don't buy any - you'll become an addict! Unfortunately for me, I got a couple Phalaenopsis before I got any of my Nepenthes, so I'm already done-for and stuck with 2 money and time consuming hobbies.

lol looking for one for a gift for a sweetheart and continue to be struck by their beauty again and again... addiction is imminent apparently! But I think I'll stick with bug eaters!
