Hey all, been lurking for a bit and it looks like I am in good company here in the PNW. After two successful winters with a small group of Sarracenia the addiction has kicked into high gear and my collection is growing quickly.

Welcome to TF. No turning back once the addiction sets in...you are one of us now

Thanks! I know all about addiction, I also grow orchids, keep dart frogs, tree frogs, and a few other herps, and shoot/reload. What's one more expensive hobby right?

Welcome, Tony! Have you met the Sarracenia NW boys yet? You must attend their open house next summer!

I haven't, but I've seen some of their plants in a friend's collection. I may go up to the Portland home and garden show this weekend to check out their booth.

I was at the H&G show yesterday and they had some pretty nice plants. Definitely more of an orchid/tree show though.


Anyway, welcome to TF!

trees, you say?
i just saw a tree yesterday that was most beautiful. it was a standard small tree, 12' at most, missing all its leaves but with giant 4" upright flowers that looked like slender elaborant pink teacups in a sheath.
the kind of flowers you typically see no more than a foot off the ground..

woul'dnt have guessed the home and garden show would have been exhibiting trees so much as local shrubbery and exotic flare, etc.



btw, to the stread starter, welcome to terraforums and i also much encourage you to visit the local cp nursery. i attended three open houses myself this past year.
