Greetings from Anchorage, Alaska

[Michael]

Greetings from the Last Frontier!
I've been lurking for a little bit--all right, I admit it, I'm mostly a lurker (been a lurker on CPUK and Terraforums for a few years), perhaps a temperate lurker--coming out of dormancy from time to time to post...

I've been an ICPS member for a few years, and have been growing CP's for about the same time, and have been slowly exploring the Last Frontier in search of CP's in the wild. At the end of last summer I bought a 1/2 acre piece of property and cabin that has D. rotundifoia--yeah!!

Not too many other CP'ers in Alaska...but I've been trying to get them interested...so I'm looking forward to connecting with others... Happy Trails, Mike

Welcome! I lived in Alaska for a year and a half beautiful country!

How lucky you are to have rotundifolia on your property.

Welcome to you and here's hoping you bump into another CPer from Alaska.

Anchorage is in the Alaskan tropics. My inlaws lived in the muskeg in Fairbanks for 20 some years. Summers were wonderful, and using their outhouse in winter was, well, wonderful too.

Welcome to the forum!

Thanks Everybody!! Sunday greetings from the Alaskan tropics! Today almost feels like it's breakup (the season before Spring where everything melts) 36F and Sunny. I hear what you're saying about outhouses in winter--no dilly dallying about there...

Nepenthes--where abouts in Alaska were you??

[nepenthes]

Eielson Air force Base. Near North Pole, Im sure you know where it is. I loved the costal parts of Alaska, but the Interior was my favorite.

Yep--know right where you mean--where you into CP then? Find any out in the wilds?

Today is the first day it's felt close to Spring...50F, my thoughts turn towards hunting my property to see if I have any D. anglica, or P. villosa as soon as possible... and following up some rumors of CP's in some of the bogs around town...
