NASC Auction will open in...

Read the rules first :)
NASC auction is OPEN!!

You know you're obsessed with CPs when...

You know when you are addicted/crazy, when:

* You feed your sister's old pet rat to the Columbian red-tail boas,
because it got out of it's cage and then ate all the pitchers off your Nepenthes;
and unfortunately, a few main growing stems too.
At first both snakes don't eat the rat, so then you stubbornly smash it with a
cinder-block, and when it's dead, the snakes finally decide to eat it. :D

* Now, every glass-art composition you create, is carnivorous plant-related.
 
-When you cry during a storm with heavy rains (have done this a lot of times)

- When someone tells you that you have too many plants you go out and buy more

- Your vacations are areas with CPs(Done this many times)

- Upset on your birthday when you get an iPod and not the nep you've been wanting
 
When to tell your family you're downsizing your plant collection but you actually mean throwing out all those orchids that won't flower anyway to get more neps :D
 
When you check terraforums every ten seconds..

When you run out in the rain to dip a soup ladle into one of your mini bogs because it's flooding.
 
-When you think a drawing of a wheat-kernel thing looks like an un-opened nep pitcher. XD

When while making coffee at work you look at a spent Kurig k-cup and you go: wow these would make awesome containers for starting utricularia cultures for giveaways...

Oh man, I got the wandering eye "this would be great for plants!" so bad that even my mom does it now too :lol:

And I run around in soaking rain to save them or get rain for them. :lol:
 
When every time you look at a weed on the side of the road you compare its appearance to a CP and wish it was one...

When your aquariums are downgraded to make room for a new CP terrarium...
 
correction: 1YEAR old.

when you start using bathroom poufs as netting to mount your orchidioides utrics on cork bark...just to save space and make room for moar plants in your terra.
 
when you see every shelf in your home as a place to put cps and lights

when buying cps you don't ask what your wife would think but what would your VFTs and Sarrs think.
 
-You get worried after having too much good weather, because it means you're water butt will start to dry up

-When you try to work out good places to live based on ease of growing as many CPs as possible- preferably outside.

-When you suddenly start hating trees because they block your precious sunlight.

-When you start hunting for flies in your house to kill because your neps don't cach enough by themselves.

-When you start hating winter because it means you can't buy any more plants for >3 months.
