vraev- I totally agree. I have seen tens if not hundreds of thousands of cultivated vft in my 35 years of growing cp's and I can honestly say that mesaman is bar none the single best vft grower I have ever encountered. I just stand in awe at his abilities. And I am seriously not kidding folks when I say that you can literally HEAR his flytraps snapping shut..they're just that freaking big.
Thank you Philcula, I appreciate that greatly....Well, now that I have mastered growing VFT"s I think I will try growing a few cattleya orchids to see what might happen.
