bacps

Curious about when the next BACPS conference will probably be held. Should I anticipate a January date? Should I also expect a Bay Area meet or Sebastopol venue? I'm keen to head down there and do some snoopin and maybe get some plants to augment my collection

The San Diego Carnivorous Plant Society invite you all to come join us at the beautiful Balboa Park in San Diego on June 18. We have just recently finished our overhaul of the CP bog in the Botanical Building and invite you to visit it while you are out here. There will be both local and...

Here's the modest set up I put together for a batch of highland seeds- never tried Nep seeds before, but a windfall literally put some in my lap at the SF conservatory of flowers a few months ago (I contacted the head of the bacps to alert the grower :) the light is a cheap LED on a 16 hour...

Well I finally did it. I've joined Terraforums. I was encouraged by a fellow CP grower, and have been reluctant. I normally hang out on OCPS which is a small friendly community of folks, who share many of my growing conditions. So, joining Terraforums feels a bit like a first trip to a big...

I got a Drosophyllum at the BACPS show on Saturday, and I would like some advice on how often to water it. It is in the same two-foot terracotta pot as my old one which died. The pot is about two feet tall as well. The medium is equal parts of perlite, sand, peat, and vermiculite although...

I purchased an S. minor var. okefenokeensis (Ware County, GA - Unique seedling) this past June at the BACPS show. As I watched a new pitcher develop I was struck by the difference in coloring between a fresh pitcher and mature one. I decided to take a series of pictures showing the change in...

Hello! In April 2010 I was walking to the top of campus at SFSU and passed by the University green house. They were having a plant sale and I decided to check it out. I ended up purchasing a Sarracenia x readii and had no idea what I was getting myself into or how I  would get swept up with the...

I know there are a few folks on TF from the greater Bay Area. I'd like to see if there's anybody within, say, an hour's drive of San Francisco who might like to get drinks, or coffee, or do some in-person plant trades, or just hang out. I live in the city of Richmond, right near the del Norte...

Hello! My name is Katrina. I've been collecting Cps for about 3 years now. I've recently joined a couple Facebook groups and am considering going to one of the BACPS meetings. My Facebook friend Jim introduced me to TF. This is my first post! Here's what I've collected so far...

Hi everyone, I'm Howard. I've been getting back into carnivorous plants after a 3 year gap. I have a Nepenthes (not sure about the species) that I've had for almost 10 years. Here's a list of plants I have acquired in the last few months: Aldrovanda vesiculosa Utricularia gibba Utricularia...

Hello members, tomorrow should be a fun day and a great opportunity to meet some of you in person. I haven't been to a meeting before and I'm not sure if my dad would drive me there on my behalf. I hope there is going to be a plant sale though. I'll let this thread know if I'm coming, but if I...

Hello all, as some of you might know, Peter D'Amato is holding BACPS's annual potluck over at his nursery, which will also feature his revised edition of the Savage Garden, a special treat! Just wondering who from TF might be going, and if there are any individuals that might be interested in...

Hi guys, Is anyone else attending the BACPS show this weekend? I'll be there, make sure to say hi. I should have some photos to post later this week. Thanks, -Jeremiah-

Well guys, I know it's a bit early, but the countdown has begun. We are officially less than a month away until the Bay Area Carnivorous Plants Society hosts the annual show and sale! And that means it's time to prune back those plants to see if anything's show worthy, and check the ol' want...

Hi, my name is Matt and I live near SF,CA. I've been growing CP's for a while now. I am a member of the ICPS and the local BACPS. I've been reading old and new posts on this forum for about two months now. I got hooked on CP's as I was driving to the beach one day. I saw the sign for CC and the...

On Saturday, I attended the yearly "Halloween" BACPS meet, which was tons of fun. Then, out of the blue, Doris pointed to the raffle table and said "They're giving away some Drosophyllum seeds over there!". I picked up a pack, and it had at least fifteen seeds, which is more than I really need...
