Arvin, This is a very localised opinion only. Maybe people in UK are not so exposed to plants like us in the tropics. Remember we can have plants and flowers from all the world over- comes to us in refrigerated containers in planes. So most people will have to content with the usual seasonal flowers like roses, freesias and tulips.

However not so the reverse, as many tropical flowers are not exported to temperated climate countries as they don't last very long some, like hibiscus, are a matter of daily bloom though some like ginger flower and Gerbera do ge exported.

Maybe we should request for a bigger sample and not lable plants as ugly but unusual or unique. Finally, opinion comes with exposure through travelling and reading. It is our duty to inform then convince those poor non-nepenthes connoisseurs that unusual plants are pretty too- in their own unique way.

I stand to be corrected for what I mentioned above.
