How much fun can you have if you are a plant geek??? The answer is "more fun than is usually legal in 28 states!!!!" If you missed this event, we have to feel sorry for you! It was a wonderful chance to really take some time and look at all sorts of plants that you read about but have never seen in person. When's the last time you felt dangerous and gathered a Water Hemlock, Curare, and an Oleander all in the same room? How about Coffee, Cacao and Cola? (All delicious at lunch and somewhat "stimulating"!) Or, if you like the more exotic, carrion flowers and corpse flowers (in multiple flavors) all gathered for you amusement????

Well.... we saw them all and many more really intriguing things. There were gesneriads too! More photos and posts to follow. But now it's time "roll the credits"! This entire experience was only possible due to the generosity and time of one person ... a large thanks to Charles for letting us have the run of "plant nirvana central"!!!
What did any one else find that was their favorite to look at? Comment away!
