Eric at Leu had one, as far as I know its still alive but I havent heard any updates.

I have one ingens-like plant, it was collected in the same area as M. ingens and the about the same size, but a different either species or variety of M. ingens. When it gets big enough I will get a DNA test to see its affinity to M. ingens and maybe later on someone can TC it.
