Jerry, I think you didn't get very well what's the situation :smile:
I think you've seen the post from Ontosoroh on the pitcherplants.com forum. A few years ago he found at a local market this great form of N. rafflesiana, with a red and black peristome. He nicknamed his plant "blood red", but that's just a nickname, given to a single specimen. So unfortunately you can't just ask for a rafflesiana "blood red" in a forum, hoping to have his same plant :laugh:
IF in the future he will be able to take cuttings, hopefully the plant will spread in cultivation. Otherwise you can only hope to find somewhere else a plant with that same characteristic, but consider that it's the first time in 25 years that I see a rafflesiana with such a peristome! Anyway, who knows...

I saw the pic of this raff before... certainly eye catching !!

The owner is an Indonesian... good luck waiting for cuttings... I bet the line will be very long :sweating:
