Welcome to the forums, and congragulations on your new addiction, try keeping it even though no many in your country, its fun and you might find new friends cpers, or could start up a club for those interested or to get some into cps, you never know until you try! That's what I found out after joining, I never dreamed so many ppl in singapore were *professional* cp growers so willing to gicv help (TOO many to list), who just pulled me further and further into the hobby and can NEVER get out, but that's a good thing...maybe you can come chat with us sometimes? (And discover the world of cps...(not only in the majority american eyes)

. You can try ordering from overseas or from online nurseries, try ther net, there's tons of cp companys too anxious to sell their cps.

Ps. Isn't the spelling for 'brasil' : 'Brazil' with a 'z' instead of an 's'?
 
hey Jason, maybe Brazil is spelled Brasil in portoguese, it is atleast in Norwegian... have you heard of fernado? he is a member of the forum that live in Brazil...
 
I do beleive that it is spelled Brasil to them. The "z" is in English grammar. Many languages spell their own countries name differently than English, seems to that perhaps they would know how to spell their own name and why do we (ie English) spell it differently. Germany = Deutschland

Germanic is where many languages began. I speak broken German, not fluent. English is my first language and still makes no sense to me even though I'm American and I have spoken American English my whole life.
Anyway I don't have a clue where you could find a CP place in Sao Paulo or Brazil or even S. America. I would imagine therre are some dealings with Heliamphora there though.

Sorry no help
Joe
 
Don't worry about the English. We can figure thing out from context. Keep asking questions and keep posting.

jimscott ok...thanks for the incentive
Jason Wong thanks!
superimposedhope, no problem...
yep, when you spell, is "brazil", but to write, is brasil (like "casa", sounds like caza...) and i don't know why...hehehe
portuguese is so hard...im brasilian and for me (and most brasilians too) is hard.
PS: casa= house, in portuguese

If you mean finding CPs in collections rather than in the wild, Fernando Rivadavia of Sao Paulo wrote this on another bulletin board last year:

"Strangely enough, over 7 years after abandoning my old CP collection in a greenhouse at the University of Sao Paulo, the plants which look best (I passed by there recently) are some large Pings, maybe P.moranensis. There are still a few Neps around and well as plenty of D.binata and D.spatulata and some D.capensis. Maybe more, I didn't really look (I was more interested in the U.nelumbifolia thriving in a nearby bromeliad where I'd planted them around early 96 I think)."

That greenhouse should not be too hard to find.
 
Oi!

My wife is Brazilian, and we were in Sao Paulo last June (she is from Jundiai). We were at a shopping mall, there was a plant sale there. I walked around and was surprised to find Venus Flytraps and some Nepenthes there for sale. A lot actually! And they were in absolutely beautiful shape, many red traps and huge pitchers. The weather there is absolutely perfect for growing probably every CP...outside! I just thought I would share my thoughts, perhaps you might have some luck like I did. I'll help you look around too, the best I can here in the US. Feel free to email me. Boa sorte!
