Bacps meeting this saturday!

  • #21
AHA! I was the kid in the white CP sales shirt who was thinking about buying the ventricosa i fell in love with because it looked like a sibuyanensis form the top! So I DID meet you!

I was half out of it at the meeting... Being sick, spraining my ankle 2 times, falling into a poisonous cactus (and yes, I have swelters on my hands, and my hands have been shaky and spasomy all day, also having temporary arthritus from the poison), almost falling into a 12 foot pit, and while heping Peter D amatos book keeper bring a case of plants in for sale, fell into a stream!

Yes, i have been clumsy today. But the cactus is making me feel... happy!

Ahhhh, thank you Spec! And thanks for letting me "have" that plant!

I believe that was your friend though (the one that was going silly over buying plants) that bought that Sarracenia I REALLY wanted

When I got home and told my wife about it, she said I should have offered him $15 for it so he could make $2.50 (he bargained Don to give him 2 plants for $25...good for him). I said, yeah right.

umm..which sarr? Couldn't be the Flava I bought because that was at the end of the meeting. Must have been Droseradude.

Interesting to see three of the people you expect to be adults are actually 13-14 eh? Before I met him I thought Spec was 26 and I was convinced till I saw otherwise

Spec, Maybe I will go to the next meeting. Keep me posted as to when. I haven't been getting the BACPS Newsletter for some time, but then, neither has Stephen Davis, and he's the Pres. Warren, PM me about soil mixes for the bog. We can talk a while. I was supposed to be on the panel too, but couldn't make it.

weeee that was a fun meeting! especially those 2.5 feet drosera regia. I got a d. mirabilis, and a rare drosera, cant remember the name (neo-something), and this n. vietchi highland x lowii, and an s. minor, and a u. gibba, and I won a big s. orephilla and another sarr in the raffle.
wow.gif
I think I bought too much. And the berkley botanical gardens were fun. (except when I got cut on the door to the cactus house thing). Warren, which one were you there? I was the annoying kid with the other annoying kid. (my brother alan)
Spec you said you sprained your ankle 5 times, not 2.

Spec, maybe you should have joined me in the spazzies-anonymous meeting instead.

Thanks for posting my pics, Spec.

Yes, Slizarus, I must admit that I was a little surprised when I found out who Spec was. He is wise beyond his years
wow.gif


Droseradude, I was the old guy (look young for my age) with short hair, shorts and t-shirt that was looking green from not getting the sarrs your brother bought.

Bugweed - OK, I'll PM you. But I think I need to do some homework on a bog. I have a pond with a marginal bog which I really like. I've seen some pictures of some CP bogs that people have made. It is a good idea, but after attending the meeting, I began to think that it could be a headache to maintain a healthy environment year after year. Also, I'm beginning to appreciate having these plants higher up where they are easier to look at - like maybe in a raised planter box.

Warren

p.s. I'm still really happy about my ventricosa. Like a new baby, I kept admiring it yesterday, wondering how well I could make it grow.
