Does anyone know where i can find either of these species? I'm having trouble finding them right now. I found them earlier this year but i was broke back then.

The former plant is considered threatened, while the later is critically endangered, so I imagine it's a bit tricky to get a hold of one. I found a couple places that sell them, but none of them had any on hand. The cheapest I saw hamata for was a hundred bucks, and the latter was 125-150. And again, there were none available...

Edit: There is a nepenthes hamata on ebay right now, but nearly six days to go it's at 60 bucks (and the reserve hasn't been met). So I can imagine that it'll go pretty high. 150 maybe.

I know, damn the price. Hopefully I have the money for it by the time they actually start selling them. Considering that i have been able to successfully grow villosa and rajah, it'll be worth getting hamata. I hear its a lot easier than both of these. :D
