Greetings fellow enthusiasts! I'm thinking about starting a carnivorous plant group for the Central Fl. area. What i'd like to know is...How many CPer's do we have in the forum here, that are within a 40 to 50 mi. radius of Orlando, Fl.? I think there are a few. I know of many bogs in the area that would be excellent choices for field trips, etc...Let me know via forum or email me privately if interested.  Brian. |

Hello Brian!! I live about an hour/half away from Orlando!! I have always wanted to know if there where bogs in Florida, I thought they were up north! I would love to visit a bog in Florida, I have been searching online to find parks, etc...

Hello! Cool...I have another person also that may be interested in forming a group of CP enthusiasts for the Central Fl. area. I'd like to get at least 4 or 5 of us before i claim us as a "society" and get us on the web...I'll keep ya posted. Also, let me know if i can be of any help with your CP's. Brian |
