You see, we have this 'list' of all plants that are 'supposedly' in the country already. Only the list only has about half of them - it doesn't even have some of our native species! Anyway, we are only allowed to import plants and or seeds that are on the list - so we can't get in any new species, because they weren't in the country when the list was made...
Pretty much, Darlingtonia, Nepenthes and Heliamphora are worth heaps. Heliamphora normally sell for 80$ as soon as they get there first adult pitchers, Darlingtonia normally 50$. Nepenthes go for between 15-150$
Oh - and D. Capensis has been 'outlawed'  |
Bit late with the Cape Sundew. NZ laws sound like Australian laws, half the Aussie natives cannot be imported into Australia.
Kath, you have very nice growlist there.
