Just wanted to remind folks in case anyone is in New England this weekend about the NECPS 7th Annual Carnivorous Plant Show this weekend:
Saturday September 26, 11am to 4pm
Sunday Sepember 27, 10am to 3 pm
The Botanical Center at Roger Williams Park, Providence, Rhode Island
Admission to the botanical center is $3.00 Adults, $1.00 Kids 6-12, Kids under 6 FREE.
There will hundreds of amazing plants on display and also various CP presentations on both days. There will be an "Ugly Pot Contest" and a "Member's Favorites" display.
Black Jungle Terrarium Supply will be there offering plants and supplies, NECPS will have a table with plants, books, shirts, mugs, etc., for sale. Matt Kaelin (Quogue of Terraforums) will have some T-Shirts for sale with a very nice Cephalotus design on them. As usual, there will be the brutal NECPS members-only silent auction in the back room.
Many of you have seen my original illustration of the wasp caught inside a S. leucophylla from a trapped insect's perspective. Finally, after too many of years of waiting, I am investing in doing a limited edition archival museum quality 16 x 20 Giclee print run from the illustration. I will have a few on hand at the show and will be taking orders there at the show special price.
The show is always a fantastic time. After the show on Saturday is the traditional CP Gang dinner. This year it will be at 5pm at *Apsara*, 783B Hope Street, Providence, RI, 02906, (401)831-4722. Please note: MEMBERS MUST PAY $20 IN ADVANCE FOR THIS YEAR'S DINNER. This restaurant serves southeast Asian cuisine. No alcohol is served, but the restaurant allows individuals to bring their own alcoholic beverages. The society can no longer afford to pay the tab for the dinner like it has done the past 6 years - great while it lasted.
Here are some pics from last year's show:
