Usual assortment of CP's, in mediocre to great condition. Best plant
IMHO was a Heliamphora heterodoxa *in flower*. Also of interest were
some flowering Darlingtonia plants, but their traps weren't so great.
Some of the prizes awarded to plants were rather strange - best exhibit
went to a large pot of Sarracenia purpurea ssp. venosa (in flower),
which did not seem to me to have much to offer. The sales table was
well stocked, but most of the plants on sale we already have in our
collection.

A quick trip to Gardenworld on the way back turned up some new arrivals
- we ended up buying a Drosera falconeri and a D. petiolaris "true
form". I've put them in our terrarium inside our greenhouse alongside
our D. adelae which is thriving. Any growing tips for these two
species?
