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

[Drosera36]

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.

Nepenthes alata

U. sandersonii 'Blue' and random pygmy sundew

S. alata I think

What I ended up buying (S. minor, D. pulchella 'Pink Flower', D. paleacea ssp. paleacea)

And Pete

S. purpurea 'Big Mama'; what I was hoping would be for sale

Thanks Lois for being so nice and showing me around, and thank you Pete, for signing my lil card thing.

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.

 

[Drosera36]

Oh crap, I was. Lol, oh well.

good thing I don't live in california. Or else, I would have gone bankrupt with all the purchases of plants that I would have made.
