Cps abroad

  • Start date
This summer I'm going to be going to England, Scotland, and Ireland and I was wondering if any of you know of some places that I could visit that would have collections of CPs? I know Kew gardens has, but I don't think I'm going to be able to make it there. Are there any other places?
 
Take a look at the CP FAQ by Barry Rice; he has a list of CP collections with several in Europe.

Not sure if this will help or not, but here is a link to "Open Days":

It looks to me like regular people open up their cp collection to the public. So basically they go to each others houses and oogle at their collections.

That's what it looked like to me anyway. Though I'm not positive.

At any rate it looks like it would be fun
 
Have fun Michelle! You know, you've got to bring back pictures now.

Of course! Tons of pictures.

I can't wait to see all the things I never got to see last time. I'm especially looking foward to seeing Stonehenge. I know its just a pile of rocks in a field but I've always wanted to see it.

Has anyone else been to England Scotland or Ireland? If so what was your favorite place?
 
Hi divaskid,
I live in Bristol, England, a major city in the south west

stonehange is practicly down the road for me....but I have never seen it

I havnt been to an open day yet........I was supposed to go to Langy's but then my mum changed her mind at the last minute and she said we'lll go to triffid nurseries instead soon(one of the major CP nurseries here)

If you have any questions, ask me, if I dont know Il find out from my parents or from my school

I love england. I love it because it is so plain and rainy. I live where nothing is plain and ordinary and its hot all the time. I'm not one for hot weather. Yuck

But I do see your point. If you live there, there's not much about it that seems cool or interesting. But it is to others, just because its different from where we live.

Besides, theres sooooo much history in England. You guys have walls that are older than the United States. Thats pretty amazing to me.

I lived in London for a semester in high school. I think my favorite place was when we visited Cantebury.

You can try posting your query on the Carnivorous Plant UK Forum, if you haven't done so already.

Oh yeah... that's right.... there's a Floridian online right now! AC is my friend!

Right now? common on, I'm not a "real" Floridian. I don't like it here.

Youre so lucky! We don't have AC. Most houses, except for the mansions and the really new houses, don't have AC capabilities. Windows and doors aren't made to hold the cool air in here.

ah well, such is life

Divaskid where do you live with no AC? I would guess New England but I know its cold there.
