I am not a CP hobbyist myself, my main interest is orchids. But I am
teaching a course in plant taxonomy at the Univerity of Copenhagen,
and I have noticed that many of the students are fascinated by CP's.
Some of them grow CP's at home, others chose CP-related subjects for
their term projects etc.
Anyway, here is my question: I am going on a vacational trip to the
Algarve Province in southern Portugal by the end of February, and I
know that Drosophyllum lusitanicum grows at a few places there. I
would like to get som photographs of the plants in their natural
surroundings for my lectures (we have have some nice specimens in the
Botanical Garden for close-ups). I have looked for Drosophyllum around
Monchique on an ealier trip, but found no traces of it. I guess one
has to know exactly where to go to find it, and I wonder if some
members of this list can guide me?
thank you very much in advance,
Finn
