This upload shows the last part of our 2011 CP-trip in the USA:
To recover from our CP-trip to Alabama and Northern Florida with Brian Barnes, we return to Lake Mary, at the outskirts of Orlando. On visits at Brian's home, he shows us his wonderful CP-collection, containing i.e. the self made cultivars Drosera 'Ambrosia' and Drosera 'Dreamsickle" (hybrids of different D. filiformis forms), as well as some of the most beautiful Heliamphora that we have ever seen in cultivation. One evening Brian proofs to be a smokin' guitar player, performing a jam session with his friend Tony Tresca (bass) and his wife Cherry (drums), from which we included a short excerpt. Finally Brian guides us to the nearby Long Pine Preserve, to film the beautiful Sarracenia minor. Due to an unusual drought, many plants are suffering and we could not find Pinguicula lutea and Pinguicula caerulea anymore. Only one year ago Brian documented several of these, now simply dried up Butterworts. Such unusual droughts are in many parts of the world on the rise and probably caused by global warming, which therefore becomes an additional threat for the endangered genus Sarracenia.
