NECPS Show 2013

[BioZest]

Hey guys!

This Saturday and Sunday is the 10th(?) annual New England Carnivorous Plant Society show. I went personally today, and saw some really amazing plants . I'm planning on bringing my camera tomorrow and taking a huge load of pics. Anyone else who was there pls post your pics here too.

PS. Andrew, do you mind if I post pics of the vendor tables? If not I'll just post the display plants(most of the real beauties)

-Bio.

Update time. I came home from the show today with three new plants and a bunch of pics. I'll post some of the coolest ones today for now.

H. nutans 'Giant'

Thought these were really cool, but didn't buy any:

Various helis

A monster Cephalotus follicularis 'Humer's Giant' grow by Jeff Matteson

Probably one of the most impressive pitchers I saw at the show, a Nepenthes Truncata x Ephipeata:

Some more:

Another pitcher from the same plant:

a very impressive P. Cycloecta, also seen in the ICPS-NECPS 2012 conference I believe:

more:

To finish off for now lets go with N. Hamata x Singalana:

Hey thanks for coming! It was awesome to see all of those people coming in and learning about these amazing plants, and frankly it probably wouldn't happen otherwise. Did you get any new plants or some cool pics? You're more than welcome to post!

 

[corners]

yeah. I baught a couple wooly sundews and a nepenthes hamata hybrid. I haven't taken any pics yet.I won a couple things at the silent auction, a heli and some gemma.I wish i could have come early on sat to try and get some more helis but work calls. I still had a ball and found a few keepers. Thank you for asking!

I met a few people too, so that was cool

 

[Wire Man]

I told myself I wasn't going to get any new plants. 7 plants later....
Billy, was that one of the spectabilis x hamata?

 

[Heli]

phew... finally got back from Rhode Island. That was a great trip and I picked up some cool stuff. Nice seeing all of you, besides Mason of course.

It was, it looks pretty cool. That wasn't you that sold it to me was it? I had asked which looked the better of the 4 that was there.

Billy,
This is what you can expect from your N. spectabilis X hamata when it grows up a bit: http://nitrogenseekers.files.wordpress.com/2013/09/20130929-084619.jpg

The Silent Auction at the end of the day on Sunday:

I was surprised at the amount of plants up for auction. It was a lot of fun.

To finish it off here was probably my favorite plant of the show (too bad I only got one pic):

Thanks for looking!

Nope, but I was at the table when you bought it. I was the short bearded one.
