Is ready to take this hobby to a whole new level
This weekend I was at huge Fair/Festival in the city of Cranger in Germany, and was on my way to the tent celebrating Bavarian liquid culture.... and saw a tent that was selling interesting plants. As it turns out, they had about 6 or 7 fairly large N. Ventratas for sale at the cost of 500 points. I have no idea how much 1 point cost, but I am guessing from the venue that it was probably expensive. Sadly, I did not have a camera with me at the time. Interest enough, the plants were in excellent condition, with the huge clump of pitchers that ventratas are known for. I was pretty surprised.
 
That's pretty cool. My friend Jenny said that when she went to Amsterdam she saw all these flower shops with big (basket-sized) Neps for the equivalent of about $13-15 and wanted to buy them for me. I wish the phytosanitary certifications wouldn't have made it preposterously expensive.
