CHOMP!

Posted on April 14, 2014 | 1 comment

Recently my family and I visited the SF Conservatory of Flowers and got a chance to see the Chomp! exhibit. If you ever find yourself in the area, I highly recommend stopping by and immersing yourself in the beauty that is the SF Conservatory of Flowers. Below is a slide show featuring a few shots from around the conservatory, as well as a few highlight shots from the exhibit. Chomp! runs from 11 Apr 2014 – 19 Oct 2014 so be sure and visit soon! (And in case you didn’t already know – plants in the exhibit are from none other than California Carnivores… sweet!)

A Visit to California Carnivores

Posted on July 12, 2012 | 6 comments

Last weekend, Dahlia and I had a little weekend excursion in Sonoma County. It was a much needed time to relax after all the moving that we recently had to do. We’re settling into our new place nicely – but man… moving always sucks! (Thanks again to everyone who helped out!)

So anyway – what would a mini-vacay be without carnivores?! For me, vacations are never complete without carnivorous plant goodness. Since we were in the ‘hood of California Carnivores we decided to stop by to immerse ourselves in the carnivory. If you haven’t been there, I highly recommend stopping by. It’s always a pleasure to visit this magnificent and magical place. Thank you, Cal Carn for what you do. Continue to embolden and equip us to be better growers!

Show Sarrs

Posted on March 27, 2012 | 3 comments

Last weekend I had the opportunity to check out the San Francisco Flower and Garden Show. Man, I was really pleased to see some Sarracenia on display! (Thanks to California Carnivores!) It was pretty neat to see all these people oooh-ing and ahhh-ing over them! Yes, they are fascinating plants indeed (that’s why I’m addicted.) I really hope to see more carnivores involved in future displays.

Now most Sarracenia at this point in the year would be dormant, or just emerging from dormancy (as are my plants…) The plants below got a jump on the season by starting off early in a greenhouse. Anyway, for those of you interested – I’ll be posting the rest of the SF Flower and Garden Show 2012 photos a little later. For now, here’s a look at the a Sarrs from the show!
