Frank Posted September 24, 2006 Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 Hello all, I enjoyed my trip to the EEE in Bonn yesterday. Many other visitors will agree with me, when I say I bought too many plants. :mrgreen: Thanks to the name tags I have been able to put a face on some usernames from the forum. :) Here are some of my pictures from Saturday (the first day). First of all, there was a small exposition of plants. A small selection of the highlights follows. A nicely finished 'Australia' pot with some pygmy Drosera clumps, D. adelae and Cephalotus. (and a stray U. subulata and bisquamata :mrgreen: ) Several flowering Byblis species (liniflora, gigantea, filifolia...). An impressive N. lowii with 3 upper pitchers in perfect condition. A setup for Pinguicula on a rock. I don't know if these plants can be actually grown this way? How do these plants (especially the ones on the top) receive water? A flowering H. neblinae. Then of course, there was the sales space. A crowded overview. Hmm... that t-shirt looks familiar. Where have I seen it before? :-k Vaclav from czplants.com (I think?) on the left and Lukasz (Nepenti) on the right. I have to say that Czplants had quite special species for sale: several petiolaris complex Drosera, P. antarctica, D. arcturi, D. stenopetala... Christian Klein was present with a wide selection of Nepenthes. Amongst which N. aristolochioides... ...and N. Viking! Naturally Wistuba sold some special Heliamphora (several H. ionasii, H. chimantensis...) . Let us not forget about the collection of the botanical garden... ...which pictures have been removed (see JanW's post below) I don't have (good) pictures from the lectures, but I have seen that Mr_Aga has filmed most of it, so I expect him to post his videos. Hope you enjoyed the pictures! I enjoyed the day anyway. :) Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amori Posted September 24, 2006 Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 Simply marvellous! I knew I should've attended, but I know I'd had a heck of a time bringing home a dozen plants. Thanks for sharing, Frank! Cheers Amori PS. Pic 14 with the flowers is Strelitzia, most probably S. reginae. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Cornish Posted September 24, 2006 Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 I've been waiting for some pictures of the EEE so thanks for being so prompt. Looks like there were some amazing plants for sale and I'm very envious of all that managed to get there. I'm sure there will be more photos to follow once the weekend is over.

lil_flytrap_kid Posted September 24, 2006 Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 If I could have attended I definetely would have! Some spectacular displays of CPs! Also, I would have come back, struggling, from those stalls because of all the plants I would have bought. Thanks for posting the photos :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alex13 Posted September 24, 2006 Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 Nice photos! i think it's u.inflata? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanW Posted September 24, 2006 Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 It was very nice to meet you. Great photos, too. The botanical garden does not allow photos from their plants to be shown in public places like this, better take them offline. No problems for the pictures with the vendors and their plants of course! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
