Hi all!
I've grown carnivorous plants (in their hundreds—mainly Utricularia, Sarracenia, Drosera) for 10+ years—but that's a while ago, when I still lived in Scotland. Some of you might remember me from the mad chase for Slack's Sarracenia cv. 'Lochness' which was believed to be lost. (I found it, after more than five years, in 2005.)
In 2008, I had to give up my large collection when I moved to the US.
I'm finally getting back into it now, although I don't think I'll be able to go as crazy again as I used to.
I was in the CP listserv back in the day (anyone remember that?), and when I tried to sign up to the list again a few months back, I discovered that all the action seems to have moved here and a couple of other forums in recent years. So, OK, I'll give it a try!
I'm hoping to reconnect with some old friends online, and make new ones.
I've got a bunch of nice Sarracenia for a start, including some six month old Sarr seedlings I started; a handful of Mexican pings, a few Drosera and and terrestrial Utricularia, a tiny ceph, the obligatory VFT—all courtesy of old and new friends. I love this community. I hope it won't be too long before I can give back to it.
I'll post a grow list when there's a point to it.
Looking forward to chatting with you!
Cheers,
Marcus
