thez_yo Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 I went on an adventure the past week to see wild Darlingtonias, Hortus Botanicus nursery in Fort Bragg, Peter D'Amato's nursery, several growers abodes (Bob Z, Harry T, and Lois O), the San Francisco Conservatory of Flowers, and the BACPS summer show and sale. Please enjoy the following pictures I've posted: http://terraforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=127524 It's about half cultivated plants, half wild Darlingtonia/Ping macroceras/Drosera rotundifolia.

thez_yo Posted June 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Thanks! I can't believe how well it worked out.. I think it was 75% planning, 25% sheer luck that I managed to visit so many places hahaha. Starting today, I'm flying to Florida and hopping up to North Carolina for a few days so I will have a purely wild plants report in a week on Sarracenia/Dionaea/Drosera/Pinguicula/maybe Utricularia My hope is to get together another interesting trip around when there is an ICPS meeting next year, either before or after. I'm not sure where though because it was already hard trying to find at least one person to go with me just inside the US where I know a few people..

jimscott Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 LOL! When are you coming to Western NY? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thez_yo Posted July 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 Thanks :) Hmm, whatchu got in Western NY? I hear there's lots of MI-ish area purp bogs, right? I'm totally broke after this, but maybe I'm thinking my next fieldtrip might be outside the US.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimscott Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 CP's? We have a few things, like S. purpurea, but nothing exotic. I was thinking more along the lines of "doing coffee", as it were, and showing you my version of the 'balcony', which doesn't hold a candle to the real deal. It's a thrill to meet a hobbyist such as yourself. Hey... you can see the callistos you sent me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thez_yo Posted July 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 Oh, haha you make me sound like I'm important or something I might be poking around VT/Montreal over Christmas/New Years.. but Buffalo is quite a ways away. Maybe if you gather up some other people from around there too we can all meet up at the halfway point... say, Utica? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amar Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 Oh, haha you make me sound like I'm important or something Now now, don't joke about that, I firmly believe in what Mr. Rogers said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimscott Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 Utica is still quite a hike for me, but Rochester is do-able. I wish I had known, back in 2006, that I could have had the opportunity to visit Adnedarn & Joseph Clemens. I was doing training in Tucson for a week. And then I was flown to California and was in Burbank, where I met the hobbyist called Wickedthistle. That was a treat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thez_yo Posted July 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 Ok, so I'll be poking around NJ for the last two weeks of July and the first week-ish of August - let me know if you'll be somewhere near, or if maybe I should try to drop by. I'm not sure if I want to spend the weekends in NJ or not because while flying back and forth between San Diego and there would be a serious pain, I would also like to personally water my plants once a week rather than leave it to a sitter..

jimscott Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 Unfortunately, New Jersey is a good 400 miles ESE of me. Maybe some other time you're out this way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
