EX

Hello. I am planning and hosting an order for Nepenthes from a well known nursery in Australia named Exotica Plants ( www.exoticaplants.com.au ). They are notorious sellers of Nepenthes species and hybrids, with a quality unmatched by any other retailer of carnivorous plants to date. I host orders from them periodicly, as to make their rare, high quality plants availible to growers in the U.S. I have done many orders in the past with great results, and upmost satisfaction of every person involved. You may have seen some of these on well known cp forums such as petflytrap or pitcherplant proboards. This is a rare opprotunity for those of us in the U.S. to obtain rarely seen Nepenthes and Heliamphora species/hybrids, many of which are just being intoduced into cultivation.

The only conditions are:

1. Since this nursery is located in Australia, there are a lot of procedures to go through to get these plant into the U.S. But you need not worry about that! I provide all the needed permits and certificates.

2. All that is required of you is the cost of the plants, a $10 fee for shipping from Australia (subject to be dropped, depending on the number of participants. The more people, the least expensive it is), and the cost of shipping to your house if you are not local (near San Diego, CA). Shipping will be done via flat rate priority.

3. Since they are located in Australia, all of their prices are quoted in australian dollars. (see price list, http://www.exoticaplants.com.au/export2.aspx )The prices you pay in U.S. dollars will be based on the currency exchange rate ( http://www.xe.com/ucc/convert.cgi ), which is now hovering at 77% between USD and AUD. This means, if it is 100 in AUD, then it is $77 in USD. For this order, I request that all participants pay an inflated rate of 95% of the quoted AUD price. This extra cost is for retail purposes, and to cover other charges involved in getting the plants into the U.S. It is overall cheaper than it would be should you get these plants from any other U.S. retailer, and with me you are guaranteed to have the full selection of Exotica's availible plants. You choose what you pay for.

Again, some of these costs may be subject to a decrease, depending on how many people choose to participate. It is up to you! Tell all your carnivorous plant loving friends to join, and make it even easier for everyone.

Please do contact me if interested, and I can go more in depth on any unclear details. I can be emailed at standforme2002@yahoo.com . Thank you.
