It was an excellent Gwapa Meeting yesterday. Thanks Michael for hosting. It was fun and interesting touring the greenhouses and gardens and listening to Michael talk about carniverous plants.

Maybe I need to get a few of those for my backyard.

John, Dori and I ar planning to do a little bog section next year. Those tall thin Sundews and the tall narrow Pitcher plants were just beautiful!

I'm really sorry I had to miss that one. I remember the presentation last year on carnivorous plants, and it was one of my favorites. I look forward to the write up.

Bob, Kris has a great blog entry on the meeting that could well suffice for a writeup (Jen wasn't there, so we'll miss out on her excellent write-ups).

Thanks Chris! I'm hoping to convert that to a GWAPA meeting note, with some more info too, but have to find the time one evening this week.

It was such a fun meeting! It was very cool to see the Aldrovanda spp in person for the first time! I also can't wait to apply some of the Utric and mosses to terrariums in the future

I also find it cool that there is someone local that could be a good source for starter cultures of the really tiny infusoria... he uses it for the aquatics, but since I'm hoping to breed fish who as adults think Daphnia are big, I know I'm going to be hitting him up for a culture down the line!

Corey, get an old dirty sponge filter from a running tank and when you clean it, first squeeze it into a jar a couple times. When the jar settles, you will see that you have a huge colony of rotifers ready to be fed to small fish. All you need is a turkey baster.
