Steeevoe Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 I will be going to Bodmin in Cornwall with my parents this year, so one of the attractions we will be visiting will be The Eden Project. Apart from that I hope to see some CPs living around the area. Last year after I went to somewhere in Devon, I didn't really get a chance to go looking for them, as my boring sister wanted to do other things, so I only got search for half an hour out of an entire weeks holiday. I hope I can have at least an hour looking around this year! Please can you point me in the right direction for searching for CPs in my area, feel free to PM me details Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
An D Smith Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 Hi Steeevoe I can't give you any precise locations, but species common to the area are: Drosera anglica Drosera intermedia Drosera rotundifolia Hybrids of the above Pinguicula lusitanica possibly Pinguicula vulgaris possibly Pinguicula grandiflora Utricularia minor possibly other species of Utric as well. I don't think that you will have any problems finding them! Cheers Andy ps - might be worth giving Derek Clavell-Bate a PM, he is just outside Launceston and has one of the largest CP collections in England.

JasonG Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 if you head onto bodmin moor you should be able to find some, also the eden project has a good range of cp's for sale. Which is strange as I could only spot one nepenthes in the actual biomes :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steeevoe Posted August 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 Ok, thankyou for the pointers. Bodmin moor would be a gret place as it can't be too far away from where we are staying! I have PM'd Derek Clavell-Bate so I hope I can visit his collection too! I'll make sure I don't forget my camera! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
