Well here we go...
i am from montreal, 27 years of age and have just recently taken a curiosity to cp`s. my girlfriend loves plants and we are well over 60 (now 80+ 04-10-08) plants in a 4 1/2 appartment, cp`s included. it started with a friend of ours who had the idea of putting vft`s in an aquarium to be able to put in flies without having them flying around the house. this got my curiosity going so i bought a vft. later, i found a rather large aquarium (1 foot by 3 feet by 2 feet high.) on the side of the road with someone`s garbage. so with that, i started surfing for more info on these rather interesting plants that are way more fun than cacti and orchids. (we also have airplants that need no subtrate, jade bonsai, aloes, an aquatic plant called corkscrew rush which is my favorite non carniverous plant, herbs and spices, cherry tomatoes, and the list goes on... ) So i bought my first vft at a home depot and it`s doing great might i add. since then i have bought 5 other vft`s a couple of weeks apart due to paycheques (if i could i would buy the whole storefull) and other cp`s along the way. it is just a shame that our winters here go down to -25 to -35 celcius which is darn cold, too cold for these guys i would think.
on another note, i am on your site every weekend for hours at a time, reading and re-reading to make sure i have everything straight. i work for 20 hours on weekends but only actually work for 4-5 hours so the other 15 hours are spent on you site.
i believe this covers most of what i have to say about my green thumbs, and btw, this site rocks!!!
thanks for your time and like the french say, merci beaucoup! (thanks a lot)
Cheers
