Hi,
Thanks for reading also. We are hoping that neighbors like Vietnam will be establishing their own Carnivorous Plants Community also. And we can support world community of Carnivorous Plants.

Go for it! You're a smart guy, and not too young either! You might be surprised at what kind of turn-out you get! -- Rich

Actually, our community could be finish due to cooperation from many people, mainly private breeders and nurseries. However, we pushed it too hard, due to that we want something ‘new’ into our society. There should be one main person, and then the others will be following.

In our community, there is no University Professor get involved at all. Although, I am studying in PhD, the degree is not plant science yet. But I can adapt my knowledge to help our society though.

I was thinking of putting a link to nepenthessiam forum regarding this topic but you beat me to it...

Hi Robert,
Many for your kind words, I am hoping similar situation as yours for our community. There are tons of breeders now in here, and new hybrids are sending continuously out from them. By this establishment, we can find the resolution to gain our credibility for hybrids breeding and establishment. Thanks again.
