My friend and someone who taught me a lot has passed away along with his wife. Jerry Jackson was a very good friend and plant enthusiast. He mainly grew nepenthes. he was recently writing me and sending me pics of his new green house. Then all the message s stopped? I am having a hard time comprehending all this but from what I here he and his wife were murdered by some f**k off. If I find out more I will post. For those her were friends with him I am sorry and keep your prayers for his family and friends:( I had a Nepenthes Alata rooting for him and a vft he did not have and now I can't give it to him because of some selfish looser. You might have known him from his youtube videos on cephalotus division and heliamorpha division or on the CP forums. I am so sorry and upset.

Wish we could name a cultivar after Jerry Jackson. He really was a good man and good grower of Carnivorous plants:(

In addition, I would be happy to receive a memorial for CPN. If I get it by next week, I could run it in the September issue -- otherwise it would be in the December issue.

Thanks Bob I will see what I can get to you on the way of a memorial and try to get it to you fast. I am in Contact with his family I am gonna talk to them about ideas.
