While I was in RI for the NECPS show, I had to make the short trip to the site where 100 people died at the Great White concert. There is plenty of info about it on the web if you don't know what happened, so I won't get into all of that. I had to talk Schloaty into going since he was my ride...

I fell in love when I saw Tony Paroubek's izumiae at NECPS. I just love the coloration, the black peristome, and the sharp teeth! I've been toying with the idea of trying this one on my growshelf, but I can't find much information as to its humidity requirements. Is it a humidity addict plant...

Went to the annual New England Carnivorous Plant Society BBQ hosted by Black Jungle this past weekend. Started off at their store, went to the Hawley Bog, then to a secret roadside bog and then to the BBQ at the Black Jungle Greenhouses. A fun-filled, CP-filled kinda day. There was a brief...

For the past two years, I've been growing Aldrovanda in my planted aquariums; I started with 5 strands, now I have more than 100 (and I've traded or given away about that much also). The Aldrovanda I grow is from Darwin, Australia, it is tropical and does not require dormancy. I received it as...

Hi fellow CP fans I am going to be in Orlando for a conference this coming week and was wondering if there are any good sites for CPs in the vicinity. I know it's generally discouraged to advertise CP sites due to poaching, so to anyone concerned about my intentions i would refer them to my...

Wild Bill Matthews, a NECPS member who sometimes finds his way to Terraforums, is featured in today's Hartford, CT newspaper for the medical animation business he and his wife Dena run: http://www.courant.com/hc-medanimate.artapr29,0,2316685.story

Here are two peristome photos of two different pitchers on my N. x Mixta 'Superba' that was given to me by Kirk (kirkwmartin on terraforums). I was suprised to receive this plant as a free 2 node cutting in 2003 during a NECPS meeting. I remember that there was no basal shoot on Kirk's plant...

Hi everyone - I just found out that in the Horticulture division at the Connecticut Flower Show I took a second place in the "collections" category for a grouping of 5 nepenthes (N. maxima, N. hamata, N. gracilis, N. singalana, N. macfarlanei). I also have on display a large Carnivorous Bog...

Hi everyone, Well, the Roger Williams Park in Providence (our "home base," as it were) has been renovating their greenhouses for quite a while. We've been relagated to meetings in the classrooms only. Anyway, they've finally finished the construction, and we were able to have our meeting in...

Saw these guys at the NECPS show, and I was rather impressed. Wondering if anyone has seeds. I have S. 'Doodle Bug' x ?? seeds I could send in trade. (?? could be self, minor, leucophylla or possible alata)

Here's the rest of the pics Dena and I took:

Saturday was the NECPS show then Sunday I went to the NYBG to see the Chihuly Exhibit... Such a rough weekend. I may have forgotten my camera to the NECPS but I didn't to the Botanical Gardens. As far as Chihuly goes I was only really impressed with the water lilly segment. Snapped a few...

Hi Everyone, Just wanted to let you know that we had around 170 people come through the show this weekend at URI - not bad considering we didn't even have a firm location for the show until a few weeks ago (orginal place had to have reconstruction)! I think we might have been bigger than the...

Hi All, This is a preliminary announcement that the NECPS will be having their fourth annual show Oct. 14th & 15th at the Rodger Williams Park greenhouse in Providence, RI. Hope to see lots of you there!

I made a tip cutting from a plant during the January NECPS meeting. The lowers at the time looked like it at least had a N. maxima as a parent. The nep ID was not known at the time by the original plant owner. Is this N. x Gentle? Here are some pictures: The unknown nep in flower:   An...
