CA visit; California Carnivores pics and others; 56K warning

I got back from my week-and-a-half long visit to my Uncle and his family, who live in Berkeley. I visited lots of places there and had a lot of fun, plus I got to visit California Carnivores this past saturday, and also meet Lois (flytraplady5) and of course, Pete D'Amato. I took like a hundred pics at the nursery, and I'll only upload two dozen or so. But I'll do that tomorrow, because I have to get up early tomorrow, but I've uploaded a few pics before I go to bed.

Where you in the Bay Area on the 23rd of June? You should have gone to the BACPS meeting to hear Ivan Snyder speak on Drosera. Although it was in SF instead of the usual Berkeley.

Get a load of the nectar on the Sarracenia!

Nice plants you picked.
 
Oh crap, I was. Lol, oh well.

Awsome, sounds like you had a great time. Cant wait for more pics.
 
Great photos, and nice finds! Did you get a free Drosera with that S. minor?
