Hello from Victoria Bc

[1975goat]

Hi, I am relatively knew to growing CP’s only about a year now. I have grown from seed VFP, Serracenia, and Sundews. I’ve attempted to grow pretty much everything yet viable seed producers are in my opinion a difficult search. In my collection I have Various Highland Nepenthes and a couple lowland varieties as well. I also have butterworts and a Darlingtons from Lone mountain roads area. I have from Coal mine beach a Cephalotus. I am always looking to meet other growers and share knowledge and contacts when it comes to viable suppliers. I have been growing other plants for over thirty years and just began growing Xerofiles, looking forward to getting to meet others that are excited about this field of study.

Thanks, I’m trying to recreate the bioms that provides the least stress, except in some of my hard grown cacti

Sorry it was supposed to say hand grown cacti lol although I do love hard growing our environment deems otherwise

Welcome fellow Victorian!

Lots of super knowledgeable people both on this spit, and this site.

I have some of Lloyd's legendary Utricularia gibba and will be happy to share when I get back to the island in a month, if you are interested.

Not the best shots, it’s only a few and I’m new to cacti and succulents growing. Less than a year. I’ve got quite a few Laphophora seedlings on the go including some San-Pedro and Peruvian torch

 

[Lloyd Gordon]

Cute little Lophophora. Mine is big & bloated looking as it's grafted.
