Hi guys
Some of the German speaking folks here may knows me from the German CP forum (GfP Forum). Although I cultivate CPs since a couple of years, I never made it to register here. Well, it's time to do it.
My name is Janine, I'm living with my husband and two dogs near Zurich. I bought my first carnivorous plants in 2002, but really started with them only 4 years ago. There's not a favorite species- I harbor some (Highland)Nepenthes in two terrarium and different Drosera, a few Sarracenia, Dionaea, a lonely Ceph and some others on my outside windowshill.
Unfortunately, there's much too little room for plants in my small appartement, but I'll always find some solution for one more pot .
Apart from CPs, I'm a BIG Hoya enthusiast and are growing several species- the Nepenthes terrarium is a nice to have if you grow Hoyas I'm a little bit wondering about the very few Hoya owners here?
Last but not least, I love Aroids (in particular Amorphophallus) and devil's claw like Proboscidea and Ibicella. I would be happy to find some other Aroid and Proboscidea cultivators here, because especially the last one is hard to find and it seems, there aren't many people growing devil claws (at least in Europe).
If I do not pet my plants (or dogs ), my really passion is stormchasing and -spotting. I love to photograph clouds, lightning and other weather phenomena. I love to watch an oncoming thunderstorm from the roof terrace or chase them across the country- yes, I'm a really weather nut .
So long,
Janine
