Probably too small to post pics, but how in the world did you get the oprotunity to buy one? I would so love a hairy hamata.

There isn't much to look at when they are 1cm in diameter!

Have to agree, though the adult is spectacular.
I have said this many times, but I would rather see more pics of well-grown, common plants(like Rainforest's monster N. x Ventrata!) than a 1cm rare plant.
Just MHO.

Hi Griffin:

We all must remember that a buyer pays for rarity first then for the size. The main problem  is that sometimes the plant may not be pure species but a natural hybrid and these are difficult to identify especially when they are very small. In other words, it may not be wise to judge true phenotype of a plant until it gets to a certain size

1cm? heck my sib didnt look like much at 10cm across(leaf tip to leaf tip) most don look to interesting untill they are atleast 18-25 cm across IMHO most not until larger than that

does anyone think that the briggiana is worth the money? sure it has lowii! but what about the ventricosa!

 

[The Griffin]

Well, I admit I got a little competative in the auction, but it beats the $200 that California Carnivores were selling theirs for, lol.
Gus...touche, good point.

Hi,
that`s right, but even a natural hybrid of these wonderful plant needs to be beautiful.

Hi all:

Yes Dominic, you are right. I think it all depends on the expectations of the potential buyers. Some don't mind, some do.
I like them all, no discriminations.......Unless they are very ugly, but when it comes to nepenthes, to get an ugly plant is a very rare event.
