Great pics! What's the nep in the second pic? Someday I'll have to try and get there. I don't have much family left in the Vancouver/Richmond area any more.

Those pictures make me what to hope on a ferry and spend money I don't have. Great pics by the way.

Looking great David. I recently gave a workshop at the hamilton royal botanical gardens. I recommended HB for some broms and other CPs and boy...they did not disappoint. Beautiful plants and beautiful colours. Glad we still have HB to provide us canadians with quality plants.
BTW...u have definitely done it haven't u... Seeing those jamban and jacquelineae (or most likely flava) gives me an itchy trigger finger. I lost all my adults and numerous 3-4y old seedlings of these species. Might have to get back one of those. But first, need to sell my big N. ramispina. ;p

lol Cory. The states has a bunch of great CP vendors and other CP growers who have some amazing plants that may be available for sale. With Keehns gone, HB is the only CP vendor we got left.

I had purchased one of HB's N jamban plants that had a few growth heads. I'll cut one of them and I'll try root it for you. If it takes root, I'll send it to you...or I can just send you the cutting. I'll trade you for a cutting of your ramispina or a ceph David

There was also another member interested in buying it, so I'll ask him about it and then we can work something out. PM U once I am back. In the worst case, I can definitely send U a ceph and perhaps something else. No hurry with the jamban, let ur plant settle in. Bah... memories of dead plants

Thanks for the photo-tour. In my next life I want to run a greenhouse full of weird plants. (Maybe after the one where I come back as a giant Galapagos Tortoise.) ...hahahaha, that's a good one. You know they live for like 150 years, so it may take a while!

Nice photos! Thanks for sharing. I've always been interested to see HB, as I've ordered from them online but have never visited their shop. Are they selling that Nepenthes hamata, or is it just a display plant?
Also, vraev, those pictures are pretty sad to see. It looks like you had some very nice plants before they froze on you...

Yup. It does hurt a bit whenever I look at some of those old pics. Pleasant memories of what I accomplished but sadness of how they were lost in one night.
