For the time being....

Please find us on facebook at facebook.com/MEPNW and PM us there for inquiries. Likely through the rest of this year w3 will stick to our "Scratch and Dent" specials. We also have small potted plants for $30, and stolon root for $25 per foot. Our proprietary Cobra grow blend, 'Monster Mix' is also available for $5.00 per quart or $17 per gallon(marked down) and is unique, containing materials from terrain that Cobras do choose to occur in. It is somewhat of a universal blend, considering that Cobra stands can be found in terrain that defies most conventional information. From rocky topped high mountains, to coastal stagnant puddles vary significantly in pH, they will grow in substrates that if presented to a forum or CP community for evaluation, would be shot down as unsuitable. I have seen them growing out of the sides of trees, the stolon root from a nearby Mother plant having been pushed up underneath the bark until it finds light. I have seen them growing as aquatics in somewhat shallow water with little to no root system, as well as some plants with growth points entirely submerged in 18" of water year round, though rooted into the rotted ancient forest floor beneath them.

Our current pricing structure and stock available through the end of 2017 is as follows:

SCRATCH-N-DENT SALE !!
After our move over the Winter, we have many many Cobra Lilies that are growing nicely, but are not as presentable as I like to keep things. Some were chomped on by grasshoppers or those pesky aphids (the plants have since been treated with Bayer Flower and Vegetable Insecticide) We could keep them another year and let nature take care of the previous year's pitchers, but I would rather sell them and reclaim the space for cell tray propagation. Some of these plants are rather large, old rhizomes, there is smaller stock and everything in between as well. They will be $15 for small size, $25 for medium size, and $35 for large. There are some XL size too. All are quite ambitious to grow out and will be nice plants once settled. They have all been growing under full Oregon sun all year. If you are interested let me know and we can work something out.

(*We are using our finest stock for propagation efforts and plan to offer cell trays next year, 72 cells per tray. There will be more of everything as we continue to divide and plant. We really need to reclaim shelf space for more showy stock. We grow outdoors only and in the country, so it's luck of the draw as to which plants the grasshoppers find. Any of them could be outstanding showstoppers with patience. See posts on our FB page for information on propagating from various material yourself, and what to look for as far as signs of survival or new growth in sometimes bleak situations. Many of our nicest plants have grown up from the remains and rhizomes of plants that most would consider dead of give up on. Never give up on a Cobra Lily until you see only dead and decaying material in the pot. Unpotting "dying" plants is most often a surprise as thick white stolon root is forming, taking energy from the existing growth, just as with many other CP. The best results will most always happen when you grow them up yourself in your location.)
