Hello from Downunder

[Didge]

Hello, I am Derrick (Didge) Rowe a sporadic grower of CP's but these days my focus is primarily on arboreal myrmecophytes (ant-plants.) having just published a DVD format 'book' on the subject, namely Ant-plants: Arboreal Wonders of Nature. I am currently living in Auckland New Zealand but I have lived and travelled extensively in Australia and toured Papua New Guinea home to many truly weird plants little known ouside of academia. Cheers Didge.

Welcome!

I'm an accomplished explorer also! I have toured all around San Diego, finding many sites with our local 5 types of succulents (4 are cacti) There are more a little farther out in the desert.

Congrats on your Ant Plant Book/DVD!

Hey, I'm going to NZ in a couple days! Do you have any suggestions for things to do in your area for a visit in December?

Anything not to miss? Know any good sites to spot cps at?

Any tips appreciated, thanks!
