Quote[/b] (LauraZ5 @ Sep. 30 2005,7:00)]I'd pick one particular Oreo that has very unique coloration. Peter D'Amato had one and his died but there were a few sister "Don Schnell' oreo plants out there in a few other people's collections that made it and they grew healthy enough to be able to be divided and shared.
Ah yes Laura...a great plant indeed, and very hard to replace. But you haven't seen the offspring of its selfings. How does a nearly solid red oreo grab you?? That would be crammed in my pocket because the pitchers can be cut back. Other than that my N. klossii would have to be with me. I can use its unopened pitchers as floatation devices.

LOL! There's a commercial on the SciFi channel of a guy blowing air into a small dog's behind. Needless to say the dog turns into a large balloon and kicks the man in the jaw. Priceless!

Ha ha ha, I never saw the commercial you mentioned "LOL! There's a commercial on the SciFi channel of a guy blowing air into a small dog's behind. Needless to say the dog turns into a large balloon and kicks the man in the jaw. Priceless" but I was sort of thinking along the same lines only with a cat since our Nep pitchers over here aren't all that big but some of our cats are mutations.
Say Phil, do your greenhouses have any live ornaments in them to show off that N. klossii from Japan? I'm thinking something small and unobtrusive that wouldn't be much bother at all like a little dove? It would never ever perch on your plants and I can guarantee that.
