Rogier Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 For the people who know who I am and have meet etc. over the years: I have decided to stop collecting carnivorous plants and I have sold my collection, materials and greenhouses. I already trimmed down my collection over the years, but for several personal reaons I found it better to put an end to it. Thanks for all the fun! All the best, Rogier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fischermans Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 May you can tell us whom you have sold your collection? All the best to you. Alexander Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Cornish Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 Good luck with whatever you choose to do in the future Rogier! Have you started collecting anything else? I find collectors are always collectors and just move onto collecting something different. I'm mainly into collecting palms these days but do still keep quite a few cps.

Gaz Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 Yes, good luck Rogier, I hope you have found an equally fascinating alternative interest. I think Neil's conclusion probably applies to a lot of us. As for me, I too do still keep a small collection of CP's but in the end I found that specialising purely on CPs just didn't keep my attention focused enough so now I'm growing small collections of cacti, succulents, caudiciforms, aroids, and a few bulbs as well as my remaining CP's. Keeping both the xerophytes and the bog loving plants together in the same greenhouse is certainly a challenge especially during the colder months. All the best.

James Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 All the best, something similar happened to me years ago but I have been bitten by the bug again, and now have a few Cephs and VFTs. You never know you may return ...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexis Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 That's a shame Rogier. I'm the opposite - house hunting for a garden with a house attached! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loakesy Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 Sad news for the CP community indeed, but I wish you all very best for the future! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogier Posted February 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 Thanks guys, all the best and who knows what the future brings... Best regards, Rogier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NepXGorgicus Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 This happened to me when I was younger. We had a bad storm that killed all of my outdoor plants, and I got disheartened and stopped growing. Years later, I'm back doing it again. Best of luck to you!

Danny... Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 That's a shame to hear Rogier..I'm the opposite more or less..been away for 5 or 6 years now..and i'm slowely crawling back to the plants haha! (it's just that i cannot find anything besides Sarracenia, Nepethes and Doinaea!..what's up with that?..there used to be a abundance of plants..but it almost seems like the hobby has shrunken down quite a bit!?)
