Default Greetings from Oregon

Hi! I'm from Oregon, which is Darlingtonia country. (Though the fact that they grow wild here sure doesn't make them any easier to buy, I have yet to find any for sale anywhere near me, it's very sad.) I've been lucky enough to see a few growing in the wild, they're amazing plants.

Just found this board today, and I love carnivorous plants so I thought I'd join up. I have a very small collection, a few drosera, two sarracenia, one nepenthes, and a few pinguicula, which all either grow outside on my patio or on my windowsill. I'm trying to get some darlingtonia and someday when I get the money together to get a terrarium set up I want to get a heliamphora. And maybe a cephalotus too. And I keep meaning to get some venus fly traps, but I never have any money when I find any! I really just like all sorts.

I grow fruits, veggies, flowers, herbs, and some succulents as well. I kinda just like plants all around really. My fondest dream is to have a real garden and not a bunch of pots on an apartment patio someday.

Welcome to the forum. You are really lucky to see Cobra lilies in the wild.

Welcome to Petpitcher. Wow!! You live in darlingtonia country. I love darlingtonia. Too bad too expensive and hard to get here.
