Part 2 is even better, nearly 10 minutes on just about every other CP

Yeas, it sounds a bit strange/ slurred perhaps, but I think he is just saying not to EAT it, which makes sence as it refers to avoid getting stung on the tongue.

Yes, great quality as we are come to expect from Sir David. Some nice Drosera and VFT shots in the opening too. Can't wait for part 2.

Presuming your fans are blowing in the correct direction there are only two options that come to mind. 1. The airflow brings along the heat of your lights to your measuring point. 2. The fans themselves produce heat as they turn. To find out: take a handheld meter to take temperatures at several points including near the fans, inside, outside etc.

That is correct. Toon Kuiper doesn't make much crosses himself. Toon has a Bromelia nursery 15 minutes driving from Aalsmeer and produces for the wholesale market. He also mass produceses some (like 10 or so) Nepenthes species for the garden centre market and those originate often from Matthew Soper. If you have been to the latest ICPS in Leiden you have seen his plants hanging from the stairs to the canopywalk (he was very kind to Carnivora ) Good quality, very reasonably prices in most case (of course Toon has no controle over the care and pricing the garden centre subjects plant and consumer too). Only minus: he is one of those people responsible for the large number of ventrata plants sold in gardencentres with a label alata. (and of course that he only sells wholesale).

YES! Registration for the Fieldtrip is open! Also an update on the latest on the speakers and the first sellers. Check here: http://www.necps.org/icps2012/index.php and follow the appropriate link. Hope to see a serious European delegation in August

It's not in the Linnaeus text of that book, I just checked. As far as I understand L didn't reject carnivory in a specific species, but as a whole for all plants on general (religious) principle.

Can't actually very well stay away, now can I I'll be there

It was reported on the ICPS forum in November http://icps.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=news&action=display&thread=5162 The June issue of CPN will have several articles about Peter and his work.

I don't know if Paul is starting selling in march because of the weather or because he hasn't devided the plants yet but if you're anywhere near his nursery and make an appointment I'm sure you'll be welcome to look at the collection and pick something up or preorder. Paul and Jacky are very friendly, but you'll probably miss the entrance the first time on those ...... narrow and enclosed Hereford roads

Yes, both Mike and Aidan are good. Mike publishes his saleslist once a year but first he works through his wishlist. After that he sends the saleslist to the people in his mail directory for sales so you are better of contacting him and discuss what you want then waiting for a saleslist that is probably halfway sold already before you see it PJ is also good, http://www.pj-plants.co.uk/ and Nigel also has a good rep. http://www.hccarnivorousplants.co.uk/shop/

And the ICPS too Anyway, thanks for the info

As I understand it, it's not (Yet?) for sale but will first be shown on international television. If you want to know for sure contact Ibex. Did you find this page? http://www.ibexearth.com/a-documentary-with-a-difference.html It has info about the why of the project and contant information.

The Ark is alive but there are a few problems. Stew is the only one who can update the website and with his trips and books he doesn't have the time to do it (so far anyway). I have the codes for the website now, but Stew needs to give me an instruction so I don't wreck to much but trying to pin him down is difficult. Perhaps a skype session...... Anyway: the plants in Leiden are doing well, there have been some addittions and donated seeds have germinated well. Also I have some start up material ready for an Ark focussing on South African CP's which is waiting for an upload. I can put it on Facebook (that I can work) but I wanted to do both at the same time so I'm waiting for Stew. Bottomline: The ark can certainly use the money and also plant donations are most welcome. We just have to streamline the processes so to speak and maybe have a couple of volunteers to help with some functions (like the bloody website, I just have the codes burning in my pocket and I know just about zero about websites ) Just send Stew another mail a couple of days ago so hopefully we can set things up more efficiently in 2012. Sorry for the lack of information and updates guys.

Nice for Robert to have a Nep named after him, long overdue given his massive work with and on the species. congrats!

Hi Dave, As far as I know and can see it's still Eric. Markus is only listed as a friend of Eric in his profile

have you tried PM? Eric is epbb on this forum.

Sounds like real fun if I can fit it in "The Program" . Mike is always fun, it has been a couple of years since I was at Paul and Jackie's and I have never seen the famous Salter collection.... Great idea

Hi Christian, I don't think that the seasons were off or the plant strangly small. I took this picture in late September 2008 in a rather wet year at this location. Not that much bigger. Perhaps the same site? Allan had marked the plants he had found so far with pink ribbons

There are some online weatherstations, but you have to take a pic. You can find them by google typing online weatherstation as a search. It's a bity digging but the info is out there For instance: http://www.typhoon2000.ph/weather2.htm and of you then choose say Borocay you get: http://www.boracayweatherstation.com/ live feed with temperature, cloudbase, barometer, humidity, wind, rainfall, the works. edit: you might like this one: http://www.ptcdm.com/automatic_weather_station_online.html

Congrats...It's a stunner

Hi David, I don't have all the information yet. In the September issue of CPN there is the info as known ATT but that issue hasn't dropped in my mailbox yet and I guess neither anywhere else in Europe so the main points in that publication are: Conference will be held 11 - 13 august at the Johnson and Wales Inn/conference centre. This is near Providence and they offer a group rate ($99/night). The fieldtrips will follow the conference, not much details on them yet except that the NECPS is looking at the NJ Pine Barrens and the famous Green swamp NC. You can subscribe to a mailing list for all updates by sending the NECPS Vice-President an e-mail: [email protected]

Don't know who this is but please don't confuse this site with www.carnivora.nl, only 1 letter and the extention off but a totally different site, that of the Dutch CPS. Just a heads up as we are often also swamped by mail for people who don't know the difference between Carnivora and Carniflora

I know it's an approved food supplement for lifestock against worminfections in cows so it should be safe for use in/on mammals if you get the dose right. No idea how effective it is agains bugs.
