As a long time carnivorous plant grower, originally in the UK and now here in New Zealand I thought it was time to not only join the ICPS but also become more active in the knowledge sharing and generally speaking in the community of fellow enthusiasts.
I look forward to chatting with you all on the forum, and hopefully meeting some fellow enthusiasts here in Aotearoa.
For anyone using this forum who also uses/used to use the CPUK forum I used to use the handle InsectsBeware probably around the 2000s and was lucky enough to meet a great number of fellow enthusiasts in York, under the fantastic hospitality of 'gardensofeden' and his family.
Sadly my collection here is small, but I am working on that and will reach out to my fellow Kiwis for interesting additions to our farm.
Cheers, Graham

Welcome Graham, don't know if you use Facebook but not only the ICPS has a nice page there but the Kiwi page actually allows trades and sales (we do not) and has often very nice plants on offer. www.facebook.com/groups/111057322252781

Hey Marcel, many thanks for the welcome and letting me know about the Facebook group.
I actively avoid FB any any of their subsidiaries, but I need to have a think about this one. Maybe I get back on the waggon..
Thanks again, Graham

Thanks for the welcome Steve!
I'm certainly hoping that by next Spring I have plenty of plants keeping the pesky flies at bay!
