Hi Tom,
I know there are a few other cp folks around here, but they may not be on
the cp list. You might try a snail mail to the U Wisconsin-Madison
greenhouse people, the Chicago Botanical Garden, and the Missouri Botanical
Garden in Saint Louis. Like myself, most of the people I know are not
actively growing cp's but are doing ecological and evolutionary research on
natural populations. Good luck with establishing a local group. Keep in
touch.
