Bem vindo ao grupo amigao (= welcome to the group buddy)!!! Glad
you're with us on the list Mario! By the way, our accents don't come out
when sent outside the country. Anyways, I'm glad you're here so we can
talk more and I can keep incentivating you everyday to go on CP trips
after I leave for Japan!! For all of you out there, Mario lives in the
city of Goiania, which is in Central Brazil, a VERY interesting CP area!
He's right in the middle of it all, close to uncountable interesting
places which I've only had the chance to 'scratch' so far.
These past 6 years I explored mostly around Eastern Brazil, so
this area where Mario lives has an enormous potential!! For example, I've
seen herbarium of what is certainly a new species of Drosera from a place
only around 300km away from Goiania! For those of you not aware, 300km is
not much in a large country such as Brazil. Just ask Joe Mullins, who
went on this last trip with me, over 3400km!!
Anyways, this Drosera is just sitting there, craving to be
collected by someone who knows its a new species!!
> seed. Another things: - What does VFT mean?
You'll soon get used to our CP lingo, VFT is Venus' Flytrap, or
Dionaea muscipula.
Best of Luck!
