RL7836 Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 (edited) While I suspect most of the hard-core Nep-philes are already following this sale - for those who are unaware - Eddy sale. There are also some nice pics of mature Eddy pitchers... (based on past threads - I know that plants that sell for high prices tend to stimulate people's interest - so - in the interest of sharing ....) (Current currency conversion = 1USD = 0.7694 Euro or 1 Euro = 1.2997USD) Current bid = $1500 USD FYI - this isn't my plant - just a free public service announcement ...

Mark Long Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Hi there, I'm relatively new to the world of Neps, why is it that N. edwardsiana is so rare in cultivation? It looks like a beautiful plant, is it because seeds aren't available or trouble getting it into tissue culture? Cheers, Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James O'Neill Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Wow. The seller must be real happy, and be able to pay his bill with a bit to spare! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dicon Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 He only needed the end of his thumb, and what he got was an arm and a leg! He will never find gloves to fit that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Evans Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Hello Mark, N. edwardsiana is very rare in cultivation, and only known from a few areas within Kinabalu National Park. The good news is it is protected. The bad news is this apparently translates into even collection of seed is very strongly discouraged. Of course, these plants are slow growing and you need to be very careful not to damage them; I think limited seed collection is a wholly positive interaction and serves to lower poaching incentives, in exactly the same way offering TC plants under cuts poaching.

I hope it will help him pay some of that bill. Edited July 28, 2010 by mark.ca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Long Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 Hi Dave Thanks for that. It's great to see that it's being protected in the wild, on my current budget though I guess I'll have to keep my fingers crossed that one day a grower manages to get an explant into TC.
