Jacob mentioned to me that he'll be bringing some 3-inch pots of Brocchinia reducta to this meeting, so keep that in mind.. See you all tomorrow.

 

[Whimgrinder]

I may show up with a trunk full of Nepenthes as well.

 

[nimbulan]

A trunk full? Oh my.

I'll probably be a bit late but I'll see you guys there.

Yes. I have quite a few plants I need to "re-home".

 

[bluemax]

Weather forecast is for sunny and warm so someone will want to grab an outside table.

 

[DJ57]

Jacob may not make it to the meet due to an injury, but I have the Brocchinia reducta and will bring them. There will also be another "adopt a sarracenia" opportunity (some of your seedlings Paul, ha).

I will try to get there early to grab a table outside, but no promises.

Charlie, I will have your P. grandiflora also.

 

[charlie]

Great conversation, Great plants, Great meeting!

 

[Whimgrinder]

Circumstance prompted me to choose not to attend this time. Somehow - staying at home to attend to gardening in my own private paradise ended up more appealing than spending four hours in a hot car on I-5. Go figure ;-) Maybe next time.

 

[charlie]

lol

 

[bluemax]

Whimgrinder - It is no doubt a lot of effort for you to attend but we will look forward to you being there when you can make it. You are always welcome.

Thank ya kindly. I appreciate it. I was hoping it was going to be a cool, gray day, so I wouldn't feel as tempted to stay home and work in the yard! Maybe next time.

All over except the photos

I am finding the point and shoot style of closeup photography to be sufficiently challenging.

Utricularia bisquamata 'Betty's Bay', the tame member of the species.

Oh, I meant to take these huge Sarracenia in silhouette...

Cool, mounted pitcher of Nepenthes bicalcarata.

We had Begonias, too.

Drosera macrophylla.

This meeting seemed to be all about the sarrs.

And a pretty little Darlingtonia, too.

Brocchinia reducta. This box was full when it arrived.

 

[bluemax]

'Just wanted to point out that next Saturday, June 13, is the second Saturday of the month and so the day of our monthly meeting. It promises to be a good time and all are invited!

 

[nimbulan]

I just hope it's not quite as hot next weekend as it is right now.

 

[charlie]

Can't wait!

 

[mato]

I think a few members will be attending an open house in northern Washington today, but I'll see the rest of you soon.

 

[bluemax]

As will I!
