Anybody have experience with these plants? If so, how where the heck did you get it in the first place? Can't seem to find much information anywhere, and I have yet to see one for sale.

Good information here:

Some nurseries carry them occasionally, although you're likely only to find Brocchinia reducta for sale. I hear they're a bit tricky to grow, very similar to Heliamphora and highland Nepenthes. Last I checked, Wistuba also carries them.

Sarracenia Northwest and California Carnivores both have some about once a year. The other solution is to order from Europe.

The good news is I've got one from sarracenia northwest. The bad news is that it is getting cloudy and will probably be pretty floppy this winter until I get some rather strong lights.
