For memorial day weekend the first CCPS meeting of the year was done in the coast near croatan and the wilmington area. The meeting was very nice and if you want to be part of this organization, join their Facebook page (carolina carnivorous plant society- CCPS).

I will be providing some pictures of the 1300 that I took, but they are very good pictures. After what happened that weekend with the flytraps stolen from wilmington, I am very skeptical about providing any info online that could possibly lead to the finding of the plants by poachers, please do understand the circumstances. :)
