err.... unless ya wanna go to malaysia and hunt down some pitcher plants... no one will sell it to you. You know the plant is endangered right? probably the only people who keep these plants are laboratories and universities trying to re-integrate the plant back into the environment. settle for a Sarracenia purpurea okay? it's in US and Canada. your local flower shop won't sell them, but you might find them if you hunt around in the woods behind your back yard.

I can snag you all sorts of pitcher plants and other carnivorous types down in Onslow County of North Carolina. I'm going there in two weeks.

Check Ebay.
You probably can't get this particular plant, sorry, and even if you could, it'd be mighty finicky to try to grow outside of its native environment.
