    My darling received a seed selection for Christmas, and after following the istructions to the letter, nothing happened! :( So, at the weekend I treated him to 2 different saracenas, a venus fly trap and a sundew. Am googling and reading to make sure I look after them properly. However, I would love to grow him one of the ones with the long hanging down pipes...begins with an N. So expensive here!! Just wondered as so many of you post from the US, is this something you grow a lot, or have access to seeds??

    I can send you a cutting if you like. :-D I grow my pitcher plant in nothing more than ordinary water and it's thriving so a cutting should do really well for you. PM me if you want a bit.
