TF Rendezvous in Portland, OR

My family has lived in Portland for years, but I only just found the community! Can noob show up ? I might be able to bring some nepenthes ventricosa cutlings....
 
We're always happy to have more people, we actually just had a few new people show up last month. Unfortunately you just missed this month's meeting but you're welcome join us in August.

As nimbulan said, we always welcome everyone who is interested. It is not necessary to bring anything to share but it is fun when people do. Our next meeting will be the second Saturday of August. I have photos taken from the last meeting that I will try to get posted soon.

I am giving the one-week notice that on Sat., Aug. 13 we will be having our August meeting, same time and place. Bring your beautiful plants and those that you wish to give away. All are welcome. Hopefully we can get another dose of the wonderful weather we had today!
 
Unfortunately I'm probably not going to make it today as I'm sick at the moment. I'll see how I'm feeling later but it's not looking like it's going to happen right now.
 
I haven't made it to a meeting in a while, but today that changes! When I got back from a vacation in Glacier National Park (I saw cp's there!) I found most of my outdoor plants dead from a heat wave. I'm bringing some giveaways of plants that I think can be salvaged. Can't wait to see everybody!

Yep they've been growing well. The H. heterodoxa recovered from shipping a lot faster and is larger, but this one decided to flower first. I can already see it reaching for the light though so I'm going to need to do something about that...
 
We are now 1 week away from this month's meeting. I intend to take photos this time, ha! 'Hope to see you there!
 
Marcus and I are coming to town, so we will be there this month. Looking forward to seeing everyone and meeting new people! :)
 
I believe a splendid time was had by all. It was truly enjoyable being out of doors again and enjoying the conversation and experiences of our cp growing friends.
