Thanks for all the compliments everyone. The collection really took off in the last year or so and is really starting to look the way I want it to. Now if I could just control this damn wind and low humidity, I'd be in heaven.

Great collection! Your 'Cinnamon Tube' has a good head start over mine, I've been dying to see the first pitcher finally pop open.

Thanks Tony. This plant has turned a really nice dark brown in the last week or so. I wasn't expecting it to turn out this nice. You will certainly enjoy it.

Absolutely beautiful! Are you going to the LACPS meeting by any chance?

You know, its kinda funny, I've been in CA for 4 years now and still haven't been able to make (or know when they all are) an LACPS meeting but I think I've been to 5 BACPS almost 400 miles away....ironic. But I would like to come to one. When is the next one and where will it be held?

When are you coming back to Michigan? I want to roll in the dirt you walk on. Maybe some of those mad skills will rub off on me.
Love the "Saxapahaw"

Funny Mass! But you know, I'll be back in MI in July and would like to get together if at all possible.

Ironic indeed. The next LACPS meeting is on June 9th (pretty sure) at the Huntington Library and Botanical Gardens. This will be my first LACPS meeting too. Can't wait to meet some of the forum members. I believe there is more information on the meeting here: http://www.huntington.org/ , here: http://lacps.net/meetings, and here: http://www.terraforums.com/forums/showthread.php?130947-LACPS-Meeting&highlight=lacps

Hope you can make it!
