Attention Oregon and Washington growers:
Several local growers and I hold a meeting on the second Saturday of every month to discuss, show, and giveaway carnivorous plants. The participants range from Forestry Service employees to students, and nursery owners to simple hobbyists, who all have a common interest in these plants. Nearly every genera of carnivorous flora is discussed or brought in, including Nepenthes, Heliamphora, Drosera, Dionaea, Cephalotus, Darlingtonia, Sarracenia, Utricularia, Pinguicula, etc.. We hope to encourage anyone with an interest in plants to attend, even those who are totally unfamiliar with botanical carnivory.
We will be meeting at the Moon & Sixpence British Pub (2014 NE 42nd Ave, Portland, OR) at 3 p.m. on Saturday, October 12th. We usually stay for a few hours, so don't worry about showing up late. Minors are allowed in the pub, which also serves great British pub food and usually hosts a gypsy jazz band.
Remember, this is just a casual meeting of like-minded carnivorous plant enthusiasts and will not have any of the formalities of a Society meeting (we're generally not fans of Robert's Rules).
For those attending, simply look for a group of people with a table full of plants.
Hope to see some new faces this weekend!
