Hey all, lemme just say this was the best weekend all year! Beat out any wedding/party/camping trip/adventure/etc...
Even though I caught a cold and popped the head gasket on my Jeep on the way (thankfully on LI, not up in RI) nothing can top the good times from this past weekend.
Great plants, great people and great times!

Enough of that! Time for more pics!

Starting with another pic of Mike's perfect Aldrovanda's, incredible how he grows these indoors!

The sleeper hit of the show, Schloaty's Campy. Unique Colour, a Female and it's the biggest one I've seen by far!

Good times Everyone! Lookin forward to next years show already!
 
Thanks for the help Alex and Nepenthusiast.

Great pics Ozzy! The Aldrovanda pics came out awesome and those are great shots of my 'Big Easy', Ima save those!

Thunderbirds? Hahaha I remember that thread.. Great shots of the Park.
 
I was looking at my plants outside, and something seemed to be missing...it was anticipation of the show that was there only a few days ago. That the plants will go into dormancy soon seems so appropriate.

This year's show was really great, what a great time! Definitely the best show we ever had.
 
wow...guys....thanks again for a bigger rajah pic. :D wow....looks like all of ya had a blast.

BTW,,,,so could u guys just explain how this works: Basically ppl just bring some of their own plants in and display it...and basically its like a "PLANT" show...as the title aptly describes it. But, is there a section of "plants for sale" or is it up to the owner of the plant display to sell it if he wants? And about the silent auction...so u guys just write ur bids down and at the end of the day or at the end of the show...the winner takes it and the proceedings go to the owner or NECPS?

BTW...if anyone flew in from a different country....did they bring their plants? If yes..how was their customs ordeal? ;)
 
That's one huge flower spike in Ozzy's picture! Fantastic photos. Hope you all didn't disrupt the bug ecosystem around the show...

xvart.
 
Yes Glider, the Tbird comment was all you. I stole it.

Hey Matt, you can have full rights to my pics of your big easy, but you have to give me full rights to the plant. :-D
