Hey everyone,

I just recently got back into the hobby. I was around in the days of the CP email Listserv and Webring. In the early 2000's life happened and I sold off my collection before a move. Anyhow, earlier this year I decided to plant a fruit garden in my backyard (mostly melons and banana trees) and thought maybe I'll get some carnivorous plants as "pest control." Not sure how effective it may actually be, but seemed like it was kind of a "novel idea", so I gave it a try. Two months later, the carnivorous plants outnumbered those in which they were intended to protect... I always new this long dormant hobby of mine was due to resurface at some point and it has come back in full force! Glad to be back!

Wow.. Listserv. Now there's something I haven't heard in a LONG time!

Welcome back! I'm an avid gardener, and learning the ways of CPs..
