OK, here is part 2 of the pictures John and I took. have fun Here is the tallest sundew we found: Drosera erythtogynaand here is Allen Lowrie, showing us just how tall ;D A highlight of the trip was finding this in its natural habitat, though someone has been illegally collection, so there was a lot of damage to the site. Cephalotus follicularisand again from a little closer: This was, as said a real threat, but some people went to really great lengths for a good picture. One of my fellow CP-society-presidents in action (Is this how you get "Dead presidents"? ;D). Relax, Mr. Greg Bourke did survive his acrobatics (this time). Here is a nice pygmy that you don't see that often in cultivation (at least not over here). Drosera barbigeraand here is another one: Drosera enodesWhile we were taking pictures Phil Mann caught us some diner: Shinglebacked lizards (thanks to Sean) We didn't find only Pygmies, let's have a tuber! Drosera erythrorihza ssp collinaNot many people have seen it in the wild, but John and I are among those lucky B.. Drosera fimbriataAnd to finish off this post Drosera heugeliiHave to go now, If I don't have to much of a hangover I'll post part 3 tomorrow.

Incredible Marcel ! what a lucky guy you are! I guess the Cephalotus location is the same than the one Barry Rice showed on his site? The one which has suffered recently from massive poachery? Thanks for sharing, François.

Yes, it was the same location François.
The plants will recover, but it will take some time. Unless the poacher returns before, in which case anyone who catches him or her has my permission to feed him to either the salty's or the Great Whites, whatever is convenient.

Hi Marcel, Thanks for sharing with us again! Truly, an adventure indeed... Yes, I think the poachers deserve to be lynched in the Aussie desert first, then the carcasses fed to the saltys! Happy Growing, Brian.

I rather introduce poachers to a Inland Taipan, the deadiest land snake in world.

It would take around 24hr for the nervous system to freeze up, blood vessels to start leaking, and the muscles to breakdown. Basically you start to be disgested from the inside.
