Carnivorous Weekend – 2 of 2: Garden of Faulisi

Carnivorous collection hopping weekend – part 2 of 2.

After visiting Mike’s garden filled with blinding leucos, we drove down to meet our buddy Calen over at Phil’s spot. That is right – the grand finale in last week’s serendipitous Sarracenia soiree takes us to the garden of Faulisi. Phil Faulisi. The man. The legend. Oh boy, and the plants? All I could say about that awesomeness was THIS. Click that link. Then play after every photo.

Phil – thanks so much as always for your hospitality. Always a pleasure to hang out and nerd out over plants!

Enjoy!
