Hi All,
I just started growing CPs, hence the name. OK, not quite. It all started a long time ago when my father got me a pair of venus flytraps for christmas. We did all the horrible things you might expect small children and the inexperienced to do. We prodded the traps, fed them massive bugs, left them in a windowsill and gave them tap water. The plants thrived. Until one day my mother fertilized them. The plants continued to thrive and lived for another two years but neither of them ever produced a single flytrap again.
This christmas my girlfriend bought me a B-52 and the nice folks at the nursery threw in a D. paradoxa. And then she pointed me at Barry Rice' webpage and after that I fear there was no stopping the obsession.

And then the next thing you know you have another and another and then theres little CP babies all over the place and theres just never enough room and then........... Yeah, I'd already figured that. I've already requested seeds from the ICPS seedbank and have three different CP books en route. The obsession has well and truly rooted itself. CPs call out to the mad scientist in me. Yay! More East-coasters! I'm not the only one.
