Hello,

I've had a green thumb off and on for years, was into bonsai for a while until my kids pushed them all off the deck one too many times.

Now, I'm obsessed with carnivorous plants: I've got a small terrarium set up with some utricularia, a VFT, a couple of languishing sundews. Inside a couple of small nepenthes, 'Lady Luck' & N. Hookeri, and a large N. Miranda. Outside a large N. Alata/ventricosa? and N. 'Bill Bailey', about 6 sarracenia, and three VFTs: (1 B-52 and 1 'Maroon Monster', 1 plain ol' VFT)

I'm also kind of gotten into epiphytes in general: birds nest fern, some orchid cacti, and also gesneriads: I've got two little African violets that I am very proud of. And three streptocarpus on the way.

I also like caudex plants, besides a Pony Tail palm that I've had for maybe 25 years or so, I just got a Dioscorea Elephantipes and I have Gerrardanthus Macrorhiza on the way.

I have alot of questions, believe me!
