NECPS Show 2013

BioZest

zesty.
Hey guys!

This Saturday and Sunday is the 10th(?) annual New England Carnivorous Plant Society show. I went personally today, and saw some really amazing plants :-D. I'm planning on bringing my camera tomorrow and taking a huge load of pics. Anyone else who was there pls post your pics here too.

PS. Andrew, do you mind if I post pics of the vendor tables? If not I'll just post the display plants(most of the real beauties:-O)

-Bio.
 
Here are a few pix from one of my cameras.
I'm exhausted!!!

Great Shots! I like the one of the VFT 'B52'.
 
my name is billy from Maine, and i went with my family. We had a lot of fun thank you!
 
Hey thanks for coming! It was awesome to see all of those people coming in and learning about these amazing plants, and frankly it probably wouldn't happen otherwise. Did you get any new plants or some cool pics? You're more than welcome to post!

I haven't taken any pics yet.I won a couple things at the silent auction, a heli and some gemma.I wish i could have come early on sat to try and get some more helis but work calls. I still had a ball and found a few keepers. Thank you for asking!

I was surprised at the amount of plants up for auction. It was a lot of fun.

To finish it off here was probably my favorite plant of the show (too bad I only got one pic):

Nope, but I was at the table when you bought it. I was the short bearded one.
