Looks like you guys had a great time! Super pics and I particularly loved the commentary as well hehe ;> CSUF has some great plants and a long history in the cp world.

Tony
 
Yowza! Looks like a good time!
 
I've got dial up, soooo.... I'll write before they all boot up. What I am seeing in the meantime is looking real good!

AS Tony says, I love the editorial comments!
 
Wow! Those are great pics. Love those neps!
 
Niiiiiiiiiiiiice! Love the kitty! And plants too of course.

And I do believe that is "our" Larry...
smile_l_32.gif
...eeeh, Larry??
 
Yes, it's Cal State Fullerton.

I am thankful I was able to scope out such a vast area of carnivorous plants.
 
Yeah, that was a cool time. Carito's enthusiasm for these plants is unmatched. She had Ed Read and I cracking up!
