Hello all!
I’ve been a long time grower of this and that for the better part of my life, over 20 years.
I’ve grown CPs on and off, both temperate and tropical. Since relocating to Florida from the MidAtlantic, I’ve indulged in growing lowland nepenthes and have recently started acquiring warm temperate species for outdoor growing.
I currently have a handful of sundews, giant VFT clones from FTS, and 20ish lowland nepenthes species.

I also grow other assorted Tropicals that catch my eye, from African Violets, aroids to euphorbias, orchids and ferns, palms, aralia, ficus…..if it catches my eye, I’ll give it a try!

I also enjoy fish keeping, reptiles and amphibians, and wildlife/exotic animal husbandry. I no longer have any reptiles or fish, but my history and interest in animal husbandry precedes my interest in plants.

Not true, ChefDean is just a crabby old guy with too much time on his hands. Trust me, I know him personally.
But he makes a mean Pumpkin Cheesecake and Bourbon Buttermilk Banana Bread.

Now that is mean! To name such delicious sounding delicacies and keep them all to yourself. Not nice indeed!

Thanks for the welcome everyone. I’d be very eager to network with any local CP growers or vacationers who want to check out some local CPs.
