I have just come back from an excellent talk given by Andy in Walthamstow and met a couple of new people from the society who came for the talk as well.   A very enjoyable evening. Keith

Hello chaps and lady chaps,
This year I have quite a lot of divisions available and I'm not releasing any until the open day on 20^th July, this should ensure that visitors get first pick of some good plants at very reasonable prices. I have put a list of divisions on the sales page of my website, www.leucophylla.co.uk, , some very collectable plants will be included, no prices on the website but divisions will start as low as £3.
There will also be a good variety of seedlings on offer, these were very popular last year and there will be many new additions this time round.
If you want to pick up small quantities (up to 50ltrs) of peat or peat/perlite mix please let me know well in advance so this can be prepared for you. I use the same peat as Mike King and Paul Gardner, so it’s good quality peat.
Refreshments will be served during the day and bites at lunch time.
Please bring plants to sell/swap if you have them.
If you want to visit but can’t make 20^th July let me know and we can arrange a suitable date.
We are located in Midsomer Norton, which is about 13 miles south of Bristol and a similar distance from Bath.
Please reply to this topic if you intend to come to the open day, so that we can provide sufficient food for the hungry hoards, nearer the time I will send you a little map and directions.

Hello,
I am having an open day on Saturday the 10th August (contrary to what the Planta Carnivora says, it has been changed from the 3rd). I live in Northern Ireland where there aren't a lot of other growers so I'm hoping people will take it as an excuse to go for a holiday to our wee country.
Weather permitting there may be a barbecue, and there will be trips for those interested out to nearby CP sites where a whole range of native (and non-native) CPs can be seen growing in the wild; one of the highlights is that it will be high season for flowering Utricularia australis in a nearby bog.
If you are coming or have any questions, let me know in advance please.

Hi everyone!

I just want to share that there is a carnivorous plants day organised by some enthusiasts people on 23 June in the botanical garden of Lausanne, Switzerland, from 10h30 to 16h00.
The idea is to have people meet, exchange, sale or buy.  ;-)

And eat, of course! I'll even be in charge of making a dessert for everyone.

We might even have someone representing a well-known nursery, starting with a "W", with some plants of great interest to sell...

Everybody is welcome!
If you plan to come with many plants to sell, thanks to let me know, in order that we reserve you some space.

Cheers
Vincent

Hi People

on the weekend of 22/23 June there are four CP open days here in the sunny South West.  Two in Cornwall on Saturday 22nd and two in Devon on Sunday 23rd.  Full details are on the CPS website (www.thecps.org.uk/events.php).

As well as the chance to view some of the best CP collections in the country, there will be lots of plants available to buy or swap and refreshments are provided.

Hope to see you there.
