Hi Arvin

Well not that i hate them......maybe the title is wrong i don't hate them i just dislike them compared to my other CPs.....Like the aldrovandos whatever they're called they just don't seem to attract my attention.N hookeriana is a very moody plant for me hehehehe.

I only hate 1 and it is triphyophyllum peltatum because I can't find it and can't grow it and the name is hard to spell and it is unattractive and boring and looks common although actually it is rare and it is horrible and terrible and plain-looking.

Hi Aaron

Well i checked out the plant you mention "triphyophyllum peltatum" and what i found out is that its not really carnivorous....

Some text from Wikipedia
It is a liana, with a three-stage lifecycle, each with a different shaped leaf, as indicated by its Greek name. In the first stage, T. peltatum has simple lanceolate leaves, and looks nondescript. However, it then additionally develops long, glandular leaves, resembling those of the related Drosophyllum, which capture insects. The plant then enters its adult liana form, with short non-carnivorous leaves on a long twining stem.

So in a way its only carnivorous in one part of its life cycle anyways agree with you doesn't look attrative to me.
