    Ok, so a couple of months ago I ordered nepenthes seeds from ebay. When I got the seeds, I forgot to plant them for about 2 weeks.. then I finally did. When I opened the packet, the seeds didn't look good to me, even though I've never seen nep seeds before. So I planted them anyway, and to surprise, they sprouted! 
   
     They are N. Maxima, but the funny thing is, is that the seeds I ordered were not N. maxima, they were different seeds... I froget what though. But the ones that I ordered didn't sprout at all, but the N. maxima seeds were extras and they sprouted. haha.. I just thaought that was kinda random. Here are a few pics of the seedlings! taken about 2 weeks ago, many more have sprouted now. :D

I've had terrible luck with Nepenthes seed. I've ordered quite a bit off of eBay and I've yet to have one seed germination.

Good job!
