It took about four hours for me to get there , but I will go again if I'm invited. He took down my e-mail so HOPE HOPE .
John is a very nice guy.
On his tour, if any questions got asked, they got answered, it took about 2 hours, which for me went too fast , even though he said it would take about 1 1/2 hours.
There was a group of 19 + John, and he led the group, at times he would walk back and fourth among the group to answer questions, so I don't feel I missed anything. I wanted to carry a note book because I knew I wouldn't remember the complex names he used for many of his plants. I opted for my camera, and got some really nice photos, but would love to be left alone for a day, so I could have the time to set up my camera, and get some award winning art work.
Most of my shots I took in a standing position with my camera held down at my waist so I wasn't just shooting down on the tops in every picture.
.
There is a massive growth of sphagnum moss, and ({ laugh here }alondravaria ? that's my best guess, water plant with flytrap like traps, someone correct me please, I didn't have a notebook).
.
To this point in my life, I've not seen any thing to compare to his tremendous bog/pond ,sarricenia collection ,from the beginning to the end , if you stepped off his boarded path you were standing on a carpet if fly traps dews sarricenia, the dews were starting to go dormant, and the flytraps were a little hard to see standing up, things are very naturalized, but if you bent down the floor in some places was a carpet of them.
.
It will take me a little time to load all the pictures, but here are a few nice shots.

At one point one of the group asked to see the roots on one of the sarrs , and in John went, he spent several minutes in the bog and did a division and replant demo.
I took a quick shot. and he didnt seem to mind , I wanted to got another , but after a close smell, proving the roots and waters were very fresh with almost no odor, he had a big clump of peat on his nose, so I spared him the second picture.

Im sure it could be done , but it would be very difficult to take a picture without a carnivorous plant in it any where around his pond. Can you find the juvenile sarr. here
.

These are some of the nicer pictures , I will load up a few more later, of a few of the more interesting Sarrs. and over all pond shots..
