Looking for anyone in northern New York State

Hello from Tamlin's wife.
He is very ill and no longer able to care for the few plants he has left. I have a favor to request.
I am looking for someone to come and get them as they will surely die if I try taking care of them. I'm not even sure of everything he has - some nepenthes and some utricularia, I think.
I cannot afford the time or expense nor do I have the expertise to ship them to anyone. If anyone can make it here let me know and we will arrange a mutually favorable time.
Thank you.
Valerie
 
I am very sorry to hear that. I hope he recovers soon!

I would love to care for those plants that I am sure he has worked hard on. I live in nyc but could possibly travel. Can you shoot me a pm please?
 
While I can't travel to get the plants, I just wanted to wish you and your husband well and I hope he recovers from whatever ails him.
 
Thanks for the well wishes, Exo. You are 3 hours from us.
 
It hurts my heart to hear of anyone battling illness. I wish Tamlin a speedy recovery and I also wish you well.
 
I appreciate that, NY Plant Nerd.
 
NYCers like to call me "Upstate", but I'm only in Rockland County. If you don't find someone near you, maybe the board can set up a benefit auction for Tamlin? Then, when he's ready to get back to growing, he can use the benefits to restart? Just a thought. My best wishes for a full and speedy recovery.
 
Not sure how far away I am from you but could possibly travel. I wish the best for Tamlin and yourself. Please let me know if there is anything I can do.

I wish I could just plain visit him. I am so sorry that his health has declined.

I am truly saddened to hear his health has taken a turn for the worse. I was just going to check with him if he was ready for some plants I was going to send.

Let us all hope for a speedy and full recovery from this latest setback.

I truly appreciate all the well wishes. The older folks here - and I don't mean that in age - know how much these plants mean to him. And he's not up to a visit just yet.
