Awesome awesome awesome!!! Wow I love the lowii x camp!!!
Thanks folks! I appreciate all your kind comments.
I liked the Izumiae x TM so much that I got two. The first one I purchased from Zero on PitcherPlants, the second one came from EP via Mitch Davis. This second plant has proved to have a much more flared peristome than the first one I got. So far it's - IMHO - a superior plant to the original one. Still, both are so cool that I'm keeping the two of them for the moment. Maybe the uppers will hold surprises still.
I really couldn't tell you where the Black Knight plant came from, honestly. I won it at the Bay Area Carnivorous Plant Society (BACPS)'s raffle and it was identified as such. It probably is what it claims to be (I've seen others that look like mine but are darker) but I wouldn't be able to tell you exactly where it came from.
