Wouldn't say I'm a newbie newbie, but certainly wouldn't say I'm a vet either! I got my first plant (Venus Flytrap) from a hardware store and it all went downhill from there

Now, I own 25 different cultivars of VFT, 12 cultivars/"types" of Sarr, 5 different Nepenthes, and 16 different sundews including 5 different Capensis cultivars/localities (6 if you count Hercules x self

)

In recent times, I have stooped down to the realm of pygmy sundews and got my first Heliamphora (Ciliata), and am getting Byblis seeds from this here seed bank!

I have been active in carni plant discords this whole time but thought I would branch out here too.
Happy to be here!

Well, looks like a delayed introduction, but "HOWDY!" in any case!

Sounds like you and I have been at it about the same length of time, though I think you're probably a little more organized about it that I am.

You've already got the seed bank figured out so you're good-to-go.

Lots of good folks here and lots of valuable information popping up all the time and a vast treasure of information already here in the forums ready for reading!

@Intheswamp, Howdy! I use that too quite often though it isn't common up here in the PNW haha

Thank you! Truth be told, I joined some time ago but neglected to be very active here, until now! Looks like you got quite a few more posts than I! haha

@andynorth, In the Mid Valley of Oregon. Federal way, I believe I have bought from a grower up there before! Does Bizarre Botanicals ring any bells? I believe they are based up there.

I have not heard of them but will check and see if they are around. MikeB on this forum found Mossy Pots in Bonney Lake, WA which he runs out of his garage but I have been unable to locate any other local sellers.

MikeB, Thanks for this. However, I will need to wait until their web site goes active as I do not do FB.
