HA! I wish I did! I'll do ANYTHING for one. I'll probably never ever get one as NO ONE in NY sells them.

I think you have to have a special permit to sell them in the U.S., since they're endangered. I would love to get my hands on one, even some seed.

A permit? Really? I didn't know they did that sort of thing. That's good to hear though, maybe it will cut back/stop field collection. I mean, it can't really be stopped, peole are always going to do it and there are always going to be unscrupulous collectors that don't care where a plant camre from so long as they now have it in their collection. *sigh* I like to think that the people on this forum are a bit above that sort of thing. It's really sad to think about a plant being wiped out from the wild because they were all dug up and sold.

To sell or trade an oreophilla across state lines requires a permit from (I think) F&W. Here is the loophole, you are allowed to give this plant to other people as a gift with out any paperwork of any kind. So consider just asking around a little and you might strike it lucky.

Oh, and while you are not required to have a permit to own one, it is a good idea to keep records of any plants/seeds you might gift to others in the event that the Feds suddenly decide to investigate you

Does ANYONE know a place with a permit that CAN sell or "gift away" S.Oreophila? And Martin,........That picturs makes me cry! I want one now! (stomping feet) http://www.**********.com/iBhtml/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

NepG,

I'd start by asking Pete or Barry as they would probably have the inside line on people who would have some. That is all I can offer.

I have a small oreophylla http://www.**********.com/iBhtml/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif . I got it in a trade for an aquarium. I wonder if it takes a permit to sell seed...

You mean D'Amao and Rice right? Well, I e-mailed D'Amato a while back and he said just keep searching around or drive over to California to get one! http://www.**********.com/iBhtml/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif I said right! I'll just decide to come over on a Sunday for brunch! :cheesy: But, I haven't asked Rice. I'll do so however.

Pyro

Rubra,

Sale of any oreophylla material requires the permit.

NepG,

I can't guarantee Rice will know either but since he is a high member of the ICPS I figure he'd know. Might consider making a post on the listserv too, someone there might have it or know someone who knows someone...

I got me three! (all the same clone tho, through division)

Aww...come on, Richard. Who needs three? Share the wealth. http://www.**********.com/iBhtml/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

03-10-2002, 02:24 PM

Sure havron! But even if Richard did want to "share the wealth" you and me would have to obtain import permits and pay high overseas charges AND risk the palnt being damaged by stupid cargo area workers!

If I lived in the states, I would be more than willing to give you all a piece. I suppose I am quite fortunate that it isn't hard to get hold of here. Its available at most CP nurseries (expensively!) and there are always plenty for sale / swop or even free at Cps meetings.

Hi, this is my first post! It is possible to send Sarracenia oreophila with import/export *permits provided that you can prove to the authorities that the plants are not field collected and are artificially propagated. I am importing plants from the USA into the UK (not oreophila!) and it IS easy to get an import permit over here, but the FW is extremely slow for my contact in the USA.

Best Regards

Mike

Wow Richard, you ARE lucky! *jealous*

Hey Mike, welcome to the forum! You'll love this place; I do so far. http://www.**********.com/iBhtml/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Thanks Havron!
Hey Mike! Great to see you here!
Mike has THE most unbelievable collection of sarracenia's you could ever hope to see! (I get most of my plants from him!)

Hi Richard!
Thanks for coming over yesterday, you were right about this forum, there is a lot to explore!

Hey all, just wanted to pop in and say I have a baby oreo... it's about 3 years old I think... (Don't know what it's age was before I got it... )

Came out of dormancy a few weeks ago, should start going any day now...

someday, when it is much larger I will gladly make cuttings and share the wealth.

Until then... Nah nah nah nah nah..... http://www.**********.com/iBhtml/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Ram! That's isn't making my head feel any better! OK! Wait! I can slam something back! I have a 4 inch diameter N.Rajah HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!!!!!! :cheesy: :biggrin:

RamPuppy

03-11-2002, 07:56 AM

that would bug me if I had a desire to grow rajah, but I don't! I think there are far more attractive plants to grow that I don't have to get all lathered up with technology to cool off every night!

If I ever decide to start growing highlands, then I will probably get a rajah just so I can say "I have a rajah" but other than that... no biggie... pretty it is... not the prettiest by far though!

(Certainly not as pretty as an oreo! http://www.**********.com/iBhtml/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif <snicker snicker> (Ram_Puppy prods NG with a stick)

Hmm...........I need something more to prod at you! Hmm............. how about............. A large Truncata? No, Ohh! I know! You guys will probably kick me for this. I am going this summer with my Aunt to go see Michael Catlani in PERSON at his greenhouse in Cordova Tennessee!!!! You guys know him right!? That'll be one helluva treat for me!

Could it be possible to slip some seeds in under the holdy upy part of a ring box? Would it not be just as easy to send seeds of another endangered species in return for the first, in the same manner???

OOOORRR... would it be possible to get them from the seed bank... ICPS??? Twenty dollar seeds. PHHHT!!! I say go for flava... its just as pretty... Am i right?

Oh... now i want an oreophillia... snivle...

Parasuco,

I really don't think it has to be all that complicated. You just need to find some nice generous soul who likes to help others out.

Pyro

nepenthes gracilis

03-14-2002, 06:07 AM

Yeah but the nice generous soul needs to have S.Oreophila in posession to help you out. http://www.**********.com/iBhtml/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif And I don't have that kind of luck, I just find very nice people but have no Oreophila. http://www.**********.com/iBhtml/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif

Pyro

03-14-2002, 09:07 AM

Well there are a whole bunch of people from this post who you now know have oreos and I would guess that at least 1 of them is nice and generous. http://www.**********.com/iBhtml/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

And you can also try the listserv, nice people can be found there too

I'm gonna be a nice person once my plants decide to do somthing... I've had my VFTs for a month and a week, and i've not yet succesfully fed it! Bah, oh well...

I'll be nice... when the time comes!!!

Pyro

03-14-2002, 11:47 AM

Parasuco,

That is a wonderful thing to hear and probably the best decision you could ever make. Being nice and generous get you really far and makes you lots of friends. And, as Tamlin has told me many times, your kindness always finds a way to come back on you http://www.**********.com/iBhtml/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif
