CP's in Europe

[quogue]

This is directly copied from my Terraforums post. But I figured it'd be good to have something going on here so checkit:

Hey all, these are some old pics I dug up, from my Europe trip back in the Summer of '99.
I took an art class in Florence, Italy then travelled around in Europe before reluctantly returning to the US (another month or so woulda been perfect)
Anyway, during my travels I stumbled upon CP's in Austria & in Amsterdam. In Austria they were in an outdoor Terrarium at the back of a grand Botanical Garden in Vienna. Here's the Pics:



















Sorry if the Pics didn't come out so great, the reflection of the glass kinda messed things up... but they're still fun!

Now for Amsterdam..
Here I stumbled across a Garden Market on Barges along one of the Canals. Some sold CP's which I had fun checkin out... See for yourself:









Enjoy!

Hah!
Very nice pictures of the 'terrarium' of the botanic garden of Vienna, I live there!
Think I must go there soon...

(sigh) sure wish we had garden markets such as those you photographed where I live.

I wish there were Garden Markets like that where I live too! Ain't much on LI for CP's.... aside from Flytraps once a year at Home Depot..

Mortiz, if you go could you take some pics and post em? I took these in the Summer of '99, it'd be interesting to see how it's changed.

I heard there is a plant shop in Paris that only sells CPs!

lol there isnt any place for miles around here in southern cali that sells cp's except for homedepot or lowes but i dont really like to buy from them cause i see all the other cp's that they kill by not taking care of them properly....i will only buy from them everynow a cp that i havent seen them sell in a long time like once 5 years ago homedepot sold cobra lilies but i didnt know to keep the roots cool so mine died.

And...what about the sickly-looking "Little shop of horrors" flytraps {and occasional sundew} offerings that come out every year at Halloween in the stores/garden centers...Instant death by humidity domes every time, not to mention pure peat moss media. Arrrgh! Been there, done that!

Hi,

This is a Hungarian CP's forum:

You can see lots of beautiful pictures (if you don't speak in Hungarian )...
