TheInactiveMoth Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 I can finally say that I'll definitely be there on the 4th! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattynatureboy44 Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Great pictures, I would love to go this year, anyone going up there from my area in or near Essex or the south East, could share a lift and petrol costs I can drive or jump in with someone else. Never been before and didn't fancy travelling all that way by myself, and I am not that great with directions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Hey Matty, I thought it was only women who couldn't manage directions ... no offence to any lady members !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheInactiveMoth Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 (edited) Sorry, I mis-posted! I can only go on the 11th, not the 4th. ...it's just a shame I don't know anyone.... Edited June 2, 2011 by TheInactiveMoth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurplePitchers Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 Is anybody coming on the 4th July? I do not want to be there all on my own, apart from Mike of course. I can't come on either of the other days - school is a major inconvenience, and the 11th is slap bang in the middle of the exams I'm coming on the 4th. My exams are all finished now!

Mathias Maier Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 Hi, just a few days, i´m very looking forward to it! If anyone is interessted in some plants, i can bring some of my collection. Here you can find my offers: http://www.cpukforum.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=42243 See you on Saturday! Best regards Matze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike King Posted June 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 OK everyone, just a few days to go! Most of you know this, but parking in my road is a no no as space is at a premium and I have 2 sets of grumpy neighbours! Please park in Queen Elizabeth Way which has many good parking areas, but please drive past my double gates and go much further in where the best parking is. Here is a map of the roads and the parking areas are marked by a green cross. Please don't park on the road or pavement immediately outside my gates as that can case problems as it did a few years ago with a members car and a taxi!

fishycps Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 Hi, I'm hoping to get to the open day as I'm travelling over to the EE from Ireland and I'm not flying back from Liverpool until 2100 on Monday night. Would there be anyone I could scrounge a lift off from Chester to Telford and back to Liverpool on the Monday. Alternately what are the public transport options. Thanks, Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piscesilim Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 Hi, Mike King. May I know how deep is your Sarracenia's pot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike King Posted June 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 Hi, Mike King. May I know how deep is your Sarracenia's pot? Hi, I use 13 x 13 x 13cm or 15 x 15 x 15 cm for the most large species and hybridads. Smaller growing ones are in 11 x 11 x 11cm sized pots.

Alexis Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 Some quick mobile photos of what I picked up from Mike's: S. flava 'Burgundy' (left), Sandy Creek Road ornata (back), Milton rubricorpora (front). I'd probably describe it as atropurpurea. 'Frogman' (back), excellens x leucophylla (front) 'Scarlet Queen' Couple of VFTs. The one on the right has distinctive teeth - some are slightly fused. oreophila x leucophylla (back right), 'Elizabeth' (left) leucophylla, Perdido AL Blurry giant green DM08 flava var. maxima, Sussex Co, VA And not from Mike's, but something that arrived a couple of days before - two minors from Nigel Hewitt-Cooper: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
