N. spectabilis x truncata
« Thread Started on Mar 1, 2008, 4:17pm »
I really would like to know who in the U.S. (other than myself I'll admit) has this hybrid? Otherwise, how much would you expect to pay for it, or how much do you think it would sell for?

So either nobody else in the states has one, or just doesn't want to say it? I think it's good and reassuring to know that multiple people have a particular rare hybrid or species. It means the survival and, hopefully, spread of that plant in this country is more likely. Terrible twists of fate are when collectors with prized plants that only they own get hit with misshaps, and then suddenly there are NONE of that plant in the country. That sort of thing saddens me, really.

There aren't really that many US members on this board...or at least ones that would have that plant. I'd have a ton more EP hybrids if it wasn't such a pain/risk getting them over here.

Also...people shy away from revealing their grow lists because of the onslaught of demands for cuttings. Some folks just want to enjoy the hobby and grow the plants without feeling obligated or pressured into spreading their stuff around. Personally I know of at least 60 or 70 specimens of this hybrid being grown here in the US. All from seed and all made here.
