Oh trust me, I know this with all of the carnivorous plants I've bought over the past year.

Hmmm good to know. I'm having a hard time finding singular species, though. It seems most everyone sells a lot of warmer weather mini species, more fit for a greenhouse or terrarium than just in ones home or office, and then the rest are mostly hybrids. Maybe there's not as much in stock because we're coming to the colder seasons. Shoot I should've just gotten one of the ones I saw at the grocery store the other day.
I'm still stuck on Neos as my first choice, as I can grow them outdoors in the shade and use a tray with some clay balls and water to up humidity. New World Orchids, Andy's Orchids and Orchid Limited all have a good selection of Neos.
