CPs exhibition and competition in Penang Floral Fest 2008??

[piscesilim]

Penang Botanical Garden is having a Floral Fest from 29 Nov. to 7 Dec. There will a section for carnivorous plants exhibition. I will send my cps for the exhibition. The exhibition need at least 200 plants. Anyone interested to send your cps for exhibition? The organiser told me that we can claim for the transport fee or even all the costs if you are coming to Penang if they got enough fund!!

The organiser also informed me that to have a carnivorous plants competition is possible. May be can have 2 category. One for Nepenthes and another one for other cps. They have contact Ch'ien Lee and he had agree to be judge. But my concern is... there will not have enough participants.

Do you guys think that competition is possible? Please discuss.

Thanks for the infor Lim. This is great. I think we should try to get CPers to join in the competition. It would be a great publicity for CP cultivation in Malaysia.

I'll try to make it. Keep us updated on the event details ok. Tks.

This thread deserve a sticky on it.

The problem is who is going to bring the plants over. If one has to sent the plant by post, then I'm sure nobody will be interested. As one has something to show meaning that's something very precious too. Unless we have someone who is able to take good care and bring the plants over to the exhibition. Then I think that's possible.

i figure if they are interested to join in the competition, they'll have to either go there themselves or entrust their precious plants with someone who is going there.

By the way Lim, any prize for the competition? Can we knwo what it is? I think that will be a pulling factor to attract peopel to join.
