Greetings all, Well I've been working behind the scenes abit with Sib, helping to revitalize the OCPS. My name is Carl, not the other Carl in St. Catharines, I 'm the Carl he was referring to. I'm the Carl in Niagara Falls. I've been growing CP since I was 14, or so, and will be turning 40 this year... Actually this week, argh. This forum's got my birday wrong? Oh well. I'm married, and have 2 daughters, one who knows most of my sarracenia by their latin names (she's 2.5). The other one is 10 months, and I swear she said "bog" the other day ;D As some of you may know, I've been serving as the ICPS president for about 4 years and the ICPS VP for a couple of years prior to that. My main interest is Sarracenia and venus flytraps, and have been avidly collection them for about 20 years now. I do have a few token plants from other genera but its pittyful to say the least. I've had lots of expirience growing CP outside over the years and hopefully if we get this group running, I'll publish some of my thoughts in our jounal. Best Carl (purpman)

Carl-
Now that I know who you are, I now know of the quality of some of us canuck Cp'ers. And yes, I am impressed!
Looks like you and I are of the same vintage. But my kids are in and out of high school. Let's follow up on the passion everyone is pouring out on the vision of a CCPS. That thread has been started... I hope the momentum keeps going and builiding.
