Hello fellow Nepenthophiles
I've been a member of various other forums for quite some time, but thanks to Francois (Sockhom) I have been directed to this one. Great looking layout and loads of topics to choose from. I think I will be using this one from now on.
I live on the south coast of England where I have been growing Nepenthes for around 20 years. The climate is relatively cool here so I grow mainly highlanders and the jewel of my collection is a thirteen year old seed-grown N. villosa. I have around 50 species plus various hybrids, including a huge N. veitchii x trusmadiensis and I grow Heliamphora as well.
Right, I'm off to read some posts..................
Cheers Andy

Great to have you here and I'm drooling in anticipation of seeing pics of that elusive veitchii x Trusmadiensis. I have a friend who had one, but it wasn't very big. You do post photos, don't you?
I'm sure you'll have a lot of insight and wisdom to add to the mix here.

Guys,
Andy is one of the best growers I know and a helpful friend. He's got a tremendous collection. Soon, he will post some pictures of his jewels and most of of us will have to change our wet keyboards!
Oh, yeah... Welcome dear Andy!
François.

Welcome Andy to a hopefully successful forum exclusively for nepenthes. We hope to encourage more exclusively highland grown species/hybrids to grace our pages since many of us are from lowland/intermediate climates. This forum is mainly to encourage international grower participation in a plant we all adore. The intention is to increase knowledge and to dispel misconceptions about this plant. Each year we all become "experts" in these plants.
Aloha,
michael
