Back at the BACPS show and sale I remember seeing snowball shrimp suggested for helping keep algae off of utricularia roots when keeping utrics in the Geoff Wong-style display or elgecko pots. It got me to thinking: could I have a sustained population of neocaridina with U. gibba or would the...

Hi everybody! Just a quick hello for now (I'm @ work currently). I started in CP's a few years ago when I was working @ the SF Garden Show and got a vft from BACPS (it was Sunday and everyone was closing down booths). The folks there had a BUNCH of extras that they normally give to kids and I...

Anyone going?

It's about time I make a show-off thread about something. A couple weeks ago was the annual BACPS show & sale. I didn't get more than ten feet past the door before I blew my allowance about five times over. Wheee! N. muluensis x lowii N. ramispina Love those red leaves! N. mikei N...

A friend of mine won this from the BACPS raffle. I'm ping-sitting for him while he's out of the country and figured he'd appreciate an ID. There are a total of 6 pings in the pot, any idea what they are? Are they the same species?

Hey all, I scored a NOID Sarracenia at the BACPS show and, although I'm by no means any type of expert, I'm gonna go ahead and assume the monstrous thing is in sore need of a repotting: My question: is it too late in the season for it? Should I just slack-pot it for the rest of the season...

I went on a fieldtrip this past week to Northern California to go see Darlingtonia in the wild, a nursery in Fort Bragg, another one in Sebastopol, a few growers along the way, and ending with the BACPS meet! Here we go… well I visited amphirion and brokken first before I hit the road up to the...

Should be an awesome time. As always, there will be display plants, auctions, raffles, and of course, lots of vendors. Who's going? (Sorry if this is a duplicate thread, but I haven't seen anyone talking about this year's meeting.)

So I'm not in California, but I have a friend who lives in Orange, California and I'm getting her into CPs (she was already fascinated, but I mailed her my copy of The Savage Garden and really did it now :lol:) Anyway, she's moving to her own place soon and will have a nice yard and so of...

for san fran.. I plan on being in San Fran in a month, June 20 through the BACPS meet. When I fly in around the 20th, I want to go north to go check out some Darlingtonia - if you want to come along, PM me. I'll pay for the rental car, I'll dry, and I'll pay for gas... but I won't pay for...

Dory and I are putting together a tour for the FIAT club with a long lunch at a particular nursery in Sebastapol. We would like to extend the invitation to any BACPS member that would like to tag along.You don't need a FIAT to join in the fun and games, though if you come in something slower...

D. muscipula (a few typicals) D. capensis (normal, various seedlings) D. filiformis Tracyi Tuberous: D. menziesii ssp menziesii D. hookeri D. indumenta D. zigzagia D. ramellosa 'pink flower' D. rupicola 'Dark red x Bronze' D. peltata Nepenthes: 'Song of Melancholy' ampullaria x...

So I'm thinking about going up to Northern California/ Southern Oregon the week of the 20th of June and poking around to find some Darlingtonia sites. The following Saturday is the BACPS Summer Show and Sale, which would be perfect timing to hit that up before returning back home to San Diego...

I hope it's OK to put this here, even though I'm not asking for any CP's in return. (Though I never can say "no" ;)) I have three medium-ish / large-ish hermit crabs that are getting a little too adventurous. All three have now managed to escape what I though was an escape-proof crabitat, and...

I've been mulling an idea over in my head and was looking for some feedback, so here it is.... California has a bunch of different CP events and hobby meets like the BACPS meet, but as far as I know, the east coast is pretty much devoid of such things, so I was wondering what peeps would...

As most of you may be aware, this weekend I took a VERY quick trip out to California for the BACPS! And I really had a most wonderful time =) Especially meeting all of you! You're all wonderful and I sincerely hope I can make more trips and stay out there for longer!! Special, extra-big thanks...

In light of the upcoming holiday, the day after, in fact.... Who's dressing up? :jester: I am posting here mostly because this is where to find everyone, and also for the benefit of our guests flying in. :-O
