I will be doing another "adopt a sarracenia" program, bringing a tray full for giveaway. I did not get to dividing up my VFT clumps, but hopefully will have some divisions at next months meet.
Looking forward to seeing everyone there, missed the last one.
Wow! It was a great get-together last Saturday with numerous new attendees. And lots of giveaway plants, too! Not to mention lovely "show and tell" plants.
Sweet giveaway Sarrs.
Lovely giveaway sundews.
And giveaway Nepenthes.
Beautiful hybrid Sarracenia. 'Wish I had a better photo of these.
Drosera cuneifolia and D. lanata.
Pretty blooming butterwort. Pinguicula 'Gina'.
A very happy Nepenthes sanguinea.
I'm not sure which of the Sarracenia purpurea group this is, but I like it.
Thanks for taking pics bluemax! I didn't take many pics but here is my favorite from the meetup. I was pleased to see a decent showing of Pinguicula this meeting! Benurmanii's P. lusitanica:
We just hang out and talk about plants. People bring plants to show others or to give away. Some people have a few drinks or grab dinner while we're there too.

For a past history of what has gone on it is worth thumbing through this thread to have a look. Basic location info and the story of how we got started are on the first page.
I'll also have some D. occidentalis x pulchella gemmae to give away and maybe some D. finlaysoniana seeds
Additionally, I have an extra pot of ~10 D. callistos brookton form pygmies I started a few weeks ago. These will also be available so I can save some space and not have duplicates.
Seems like 'tis the giveaway season. I will have P. lusitanica seeds, P. chilensis (some of these are reserved for people so we'll see how long they last. I suspect to have more chilensis seeds than lusitanica if a few more seedpods are ready to harvest by sat), as well as D. madagascariensis seeds. Of course, I won't forget to bring a bunch of cool plants to ogle at
I can also bring some D. scorpidioides gemmae and D. pulchella gemmae if anyone is interested.
Was this still held at the bar/pub mentioned in the first post of this thread? Not sure if d capensis is the gateway drug to get into other carnivorous plants, and everyone has one already, but I have about 2 dozen small plants and a couple thousand seeds I was getting ready to toss. I figure 200 plants is more than enough for me.
Everything in the first post is still accurate. Attempts have been made to change it (the time especially) in the past but the meetup is not exclusive to this forum and it would be nearly impossible to notify everyone involved of any change.
We chose to sit outside, probably for the last time for awhile, and enjoyed the fresh air and good-spirited conversation. There were lots of great plants to show and many seeds for give away. Here's what I got:
