Video: The ICPS World Conference & 40 Jahre GFP in Vienna 2024. In May, Irmgard and I visited the ICPS World Conference 2024, organized by the society for carnivorous plants in the German-speaking area, GFP, which also celebrated its 40th anniversary here, in the wonderful ambience of Schönbrunn Castle in Vienna (Austria). In addition to pictures from the orangery with a sensational range of carnivorous plants, we are showing short excerpts from several of the highly interesting lectures by well-known scientists. We have translated everything in English and German with subtitles. Our entertaining excursion to Vienna is therefore bilingual throughout. It is certainly worthwhile even for scientific laymen to take a look.

Dear CP lovers, since 2007 the German Carnivorous Plant Society (G. F. P. - Gesellschaft für Fleischfressende Pflanzen im deutschsprachigen Raum e. V.) yearly publishes a calendar of photos of carnviorous plants taken by society members and also other skilled photographers printed in very high quality. Some of you surely know about this and have also purchased one or the other of these calendars. I´m happy tp present you the calendar for the year 2015: Please visit this page to see previews of the calender 2015 http://forum.carnivoren.org/index.php?/topic/37724-gfp-kalender-2015/ It´s 30 x 45 cm in size, printed on 250 g glossy photo paper, 13 sheets (title plus 12 months), process-colour printing, double loop wire binding with hanger, black back cardboard 380 g, transperancy film covering title Run: 300 copies Price: 12,50 EUR (equals £9,90).
