You outstation people. Make you this deal since I don't have any plant to contribute, maybe... Makan on me for anyone who attends. I mean once off everyone together including local cp-ers at a time convenient for most people (cannot please everyone though, sorry). Will be happy to host some of you if I have place. New house still work in progress- next year maybe.

Yes Shawn, do pop by to get your passport stamped in Penang again. Good time and excellent excuse too to get out of that island paradise of yours. I mean Penang is is some sort of paradise... I think... unsure now.

Lim, how much to join the competition, if any?

Ban Aik, very generous of you.

Erm , how many of us can you put up in your house ? *smile* if cannot , nvm, don`t want to impose. oredi getting treat from you. heheh.

Question : 29th November is a Sat. so when does the plants for the competition have to arrive ? And I suppose it has to be there for the whole duration of the exhibition rite ? Meaning we have to leave it there and then get someone to send it back to us.

It`ll be easier to decide once we iron out the details, logistics etc

Once we are ok, perhaps we could commit to a CP each & plant our CPs to be at their matured best for that date. i.e. byblis must be maximum blooming stage then or sarracenia psittacina must be well fertilised & exposed to full sun to plump it up and get the rite colour.

Don't think I can put any of you in my place this year, like I said most probably next year. Dinner just to welcome brothers (and sisters) from other states, no big treat lah. Please have Gurney Drive hawker put out of your thoughts, more expensive than restaurant.

So who is coming? Have a TT session to discuss, hehe...

Re: CPs exhibition and competition in Penang Floral Fest 2008??
 

The plants should be arrive on 28 Nov. I think we can just leave our plants for exhibition. Will discuss with the organiser these few days.

Interesting but afraid i can't join due to distance.
Just my suggestion, beside individual, nurseries can also be invited to take part. They usually have very nice neps-those that are for exbibit /not for sale plants. Good luck for those taking part.
