Great meeting, guys. I've already napped and passed most of the booze from my system - a testament to how early our meetings are.

December's photos

O.k. I promised photos of amazing plants - I didn't say they would be amazing photos. Taking close-ups in dim light on the fly takes some practice, I'm getting. Just the same I hope you enjoy!

This amazing, huge ball of Cephalotus had pitchers easily 3" tall which maybe gives an idea of how large it is.

Just a quick update to let everyone interested know that next Saturday, Jan 10, is our next meeting. We will be at the Moon and Sixpence pub beginning at 3:00 PM. If you need particulars look at the first few posts on this thread. For those who can't come I will post photos of the plants that show up. I already know of a few that will be there. :woot:

Thanks for the confirmation. I'm a fairly new grower and thought I'd stop by to chat with you guys about growing carnivorous plants in this area. I'm assuming it won't be difficult to find you guys inside the pub. Where is a good place to park around there?
 
  • #332
If you get there around 3, parking isn't terrible. I have never had a problem finding a spot in the surrounding block. There is a lot right across the road from the pub, but it seems to fill up fairly fast.

To add my two bits to what Oregon CP says - I often park in the residences on 42nd just north of the pub. There is usually parking there and it is only half a block away. We are real easy to spot - the only ones with potted plants on their tables.:)

We meet tomorrow! I will have pictures posted sometime soon after.

It was nice meeting everyone yesterday. Hopefully in the future I'll have some plants I can bring to show off as well.

Nice, see you on the 14th then.

Speaking of next month's meeting, would anybody be interested in some goji berry plants? I started some seeds last year and ended up with too many plants, and due to the recent warm weather some are starting to grow leaves already.

If we had realized that you were in the Portland, OR area we would've sent you a personal invitation, Charlie. Consider that done. 'Looking forward to meeting you on Feb. 14th.

My suggestion would be to go ahead and bring them. These meetings are my #1 way of finding homes for plants from over-sized populations and I know there are others who do the same.

That tub full of capensis is mine. I've had it going since highschool.
