New to the forum

Hi guys. I'm new to the world of CP forums (not CP growing). I joined mainly to take part in the auction...but have been looking around and like what I see. Lots of nice people so far. I'm in the process of relocating to the D.C. area (which will be a dramatic change in my growing conditions)...so will need some tips. Thanks.

Manny Herrera
 
Welcome, Manny! It's good to have another experienced grower and good guy here, especially one whose name appears on my plant labels.

LOL It's all good mfh again welcome. I was just harassing you about the plant. I will get one eventually.

Good to have you as a member here! I hope you enjoyed the auction (even if it was partially to the chagrin of Josh here.)

Hello Manny

I see you got the log in problem solved.  I let the owner Phil know you were having a problem.

I hope you do stick around and participate.  Its nice having the auction bring in new members.  I'm glad you are moving to DC.  I consider that part of VA so that makes you another CPer in the state of Virginia (sort of).  hehe wooooooooohoooooooo!

I'm always trying to talk people into moving to VA so we can start a CP army and take over the world.

  So far, no takers...

But VA be home to the likes of Don Schnell, Bill Scholl, Phil Sheridan, John Hummer and Rob Sacilotto...just to name a few.

Welcome to TerraForums and I hope you hang out and have some fun.

I have known of Manny for quite some time. Since he was really young. I remember hearing how his parents would take him to CP sites and reinforce his love of CP. GOOD PARENTS!!!!! He not only has the nep named after him, but he has a beautiful plant from Citronelle (Is the locale right, Manny?) also with his name . I believe it to be a s. X readii, and its beautiful, but Manny could tell you more about that than I, and with the proper ID!!!!!

WELCOME Mr. Herrera. I, for one, am pleased you are here! Good to have experience join us.

Thank you all again for such kind words and warm greetings.

Plantakiss...I will be in Alexandria. So yes...I will be a Virginian. I'd love to meet with fellow CPers in the area. I've met Phil, Don, and Bill...wonderful guys. Don was a great inspiration to me while I was a youngster growin CPs.

Steven...there is a Sarracenia cultivar named after me. It is actually a purpurea hybrid from Citronelle, Alabama. It is most likely purpurea x alata. But in that meltingpot it can be so many things.

Glider...N.mirabilis x khasiana is the hybrid referred to as N.'Manny Herrera'. It was the first Nep hybrid I ever made (along with Clyde Bramblett). I was about 14.

Thanks again all.

Welcome Manny.  I look forward to sending you that okee giant you snatched from Josh.  Sorry Josh!  Couldn't resist.

  When you're relocated, I'll send the plant.  Enjoy the company of the forum.

Yeehaah! Take note folks...if you are into CPs...Virginia is the place to be. lol

I've been to Old Town Alexandria several times but that was a long time ago. And my brother got married there. (Bet he wishes he could have a "do over" on that one

Welcome Manny!

I've been too busy processing payments from the auction to check this forum out....Glad I took a break.

Now I know to make sure I get the okee giant payment from the right person!

Ahh Schloaty I wouldn't try something underhanded like that. I know your already going through alot without someone trying to scam a plant from someone.
