Thailand is really turning out to be like the country size version of EP. There are so many small Nurseries all around where small and large growers alike are making spectacular new crosses, generally involving mirabilis var. globosa (or 'viking') somewhere in there. They are importing top quality plants from EP, BE, and MT and are starting to use those plants in crosses. This is great news for me, since I love LL growing plants that with some HL blood in them. Thankfully I have some very good connections with people in Thailand who ship some of this stuff to me. Many of my favorite plants have come directly from Thailand including the globosa x rafflesiana 'kondo' and globosa x (mirabilis x ampullaria).

I hope to be crossing many of my Thai crosses with EP plants as well. I have two different clone of bellii x [(stenophylla x lowii) x (rokko x veitchii)], one female and one male both showing a rather nice trait: a large peristome that blocks of most of the opening on upper pitchers.
