Dear All, Good to see the pictures and the success of growing. At my greenhouse all the plants do not form a rosette, they all grow and flower like a cistiflora. Next year I will try to grow them more cool and check if it is really alba. But just now I will keep on going selling them as cistiflora and for a nice price:} Regards, Gert Hoogenstrijd www.extreme-plants.eu www.araraflora.com

The plants I swap en sell are Nepenthes ventricosa "alba" are originating from the botanical garden of LEiden. They mother plant has been grown from wild collected seeds. One of the plants did have alba pitchers when it is getting older. It looks like a toilet or even sometimes like a pitcher of lowii. Because of the beauty of this species, it has been put in tissue culture. All the plant of extreme-plants do originate from this single plant. I will try to find time to figger out the exact location data of the mother plant. Kind regards, Gert

Dear All, By coincidence I was visiting these items, and saw one negative post about my webshop. I only can say that I am trying to answer as quickly as possible and that by the end of this year there will be a better webshop. Also, I want to ask people to first sort things out with me out before complaining on this page. Finally I am sending many many e-mails to all my cp-friend and customers. Sometimes it takes me hours to reply all in a day. Till now only some % of my sendings went wrong, but as you all know I am always sending new plants or sending the money back if there is no other solutions. I prefer good services and good contact over urning any money. The mail services in Spain and Italy take sometimes much more time then 5 days. Also the English language posses a problem for some customers, but my Frenach, Italian and SPanish is not good to reply. But till now all problems if excisting were solved by me and I hope that all the customers that are happy with my services and plants will put there comments here too. I hope to meet you all sometime in the future, because I prefer personal contact and talks instead of mailing:} Gert Hoogenstrijd Extreme-plants.eu

Dear Andy and others really beautifull. Mine did flower as well but did not makes pictures. I am still having some plants available see my site extreme-plants.eu also I made some new hybrids With the new cultivar U. alpina Henry Moon (see issue of the Latest ICPS). Good growing Regards, Gert Hoogenstrijd

INdeed a nice plant, but as far as I can see at the pictures it looks like a hybrid with Ionasii x nutans. Specially because the head is different and the pitcher shape does not be the same with the real ionasii. But do know it is always diffucult to compare plants from pictures and with different growing condition. Regards, Gert
