CP Nursery open house photos - serious DUW

[Brie]

Photos from a local nursery's open house that i'd been greatly antici........ pating for quite a while. I came home with a Sarracenia "Hank", S. rubra x S.lueco, Colorado Giant VFT, A big B-52 VFT, D. roseana, D. regia, and a baby Cephalotus and a D. intermedia from Kristoff.

On with the horde of photos..

Sarracenia and VFT tubs

mwaha caught Kristoff in this one.

I believe the tub in the center of this is full of "Hank". SO PRETTY!

Kris again

Some "Hank" again

What's under the white tent seen in some previous photos. Neps, Sundews and Pings..

Some photos from the various green houses

Holy Drosophyllum Batman! The mostly sundew greenhouse

A neat little display greenhouse

Some close ups from yet another greenhouse that was mostly awesome pitcher plants of different sorts.

Wow... that place is seriously huge... To think how much time it took to propagate all those plants...

Anyway, by any chance do you know what the first nepenthes is? That peristome is just AHH-MAAAZING.

 

[Brie]

And a variety of macros/close ups of various plants that caught my fancy

Very nice Brie! I’ve been wanting to go to their open house for a while now. Looks like it was a fun day. If you ever want to trade a piece of "Hank" for something I have, let me know.

I was going to go this year but a two-thousand mile round trip was a but too pricey for gas. Maybe next year I'll go. Great pics Brie!

Wow, that's amazing! Do you know what this Sarr is?

 

[Brie]

Wow, that's amazing! Do you know what this Sarr is?

I really have no idea what most of the plants were that I photographed. lol. Most of them were display only and not labeled. I would guess there might be some Minor and Rubra in that plant maybe? But it was one I really liked..

 

[GregNY]

Wow amazing recordings of their open house!

It looks as though all their sarrs haven finally "awoken" for them...

I am sad that i took so few photos, but eh... the memory is just as good....
I dont remember who asked what the nep was, but it was N. maxima x veitchii, and no photo can do it justice... it was amazing for sure...

[Brie]

Any chance that greenhouse doubles as a motel? I wouldn't mind staying there for, like, ever...
