Hi Bucky, I noticed the soil is quite dry, even some of the grass have dried out, could you tell us how you grow them so nicely especially watering. Thanks.

Tarence, The Leah Wilkerson does have Leuco in it. It is a Moorei, a natural hybrid found by Brooks Garcia in Florida who got permission from the landowner to take a piece of it and it is an amazing plant. Not very common yet but is in TC and hasn't been released yet.
Cactustts, Thanks! The dry part that you see in the background is grass that I killed with roundup. Now I have a little walkway around them with barkchips so you don't see the dead grass. You can see some of the bark chips in the background of the S. Skywatcher pic. They are all growing in bogs and we get quite a bit of rain here so I don't have to water them a terrible amount, nature does pretty well in that aspect. They are grown in a mix of peat/perlite/sand.
Sweethalo, Most of the ones that I posted pics of are not available on online nurseries. I received most in trades with people that I know but some have been from people selling them on like the UK forum and such. You may be able to find a Leuco Hurricane Creek White on an online nursery but I am not 100% sure. The Orange Sunset is very rare. It came from Brooks Garcia as well and there are only 3 plants that he knows of. He gave one to me to grow as his "Insurance Policy"! It is a very nice plant that shows it's best pitchers in the fall.

Sorry, but we will never know unless you find the initial source of the plant and ask them.

Problem is, most nurseries in Malaysia would not have the information. They most probably do not know it is carnivorous. Even when we call the supplier or imported, they are very unwilling to say. The most they would say is... "pitcher plant" ... or "mosquito plant"
