#cpclubthursday CP CLUB THURSDAY for October 31 2024 Halloween πŸŽƒ πŸ‘»

Welcome to #cpclubthursday
🌟NOW OVER 220 MEMBERS !🌟
FOCUS: RECENT NEPENTHES SALE (Australia Only)

Almost forgot! Last Saturday there was a major sale of Nepenthes from a main Australian supplier (Carnivaro - similar name to a US supplier Carnivero!)

So popular is it that it had a countdown to the sale commencing and no wonder when you see the Nepenthes for sale.

Some highlights: a Nepenthes Edwardsiana for AUD $749 (that’s over US $492 or Β£380 or 454 Euro!!!)
The next most expensive was a bargain at AUD $438 for a Nepenthes Hamata. I’ll add all the photos I took in the comments below πŸ‘‡ so if you wonder what Nepenthes can look like, this gives you an idea. And so were less than AUD $30 so there a Nepenthes for everyone! And being tropical, as a posted before, dormancy isn’t so much an issue as with many other CPs. Enjoy 😊

I have seen some great CPs being shared by #cpclubthursday these week so thanks for including the hashtag to alert other members to your posts!

I have also added many posts about the conditions and care of various CPs in previous #cpclubthursday so I recommend people follow the hashtag, may of them also have my own group #seymour so may be easier to find there.

Add any interesting Carnivorous Plant (CP) facts, photos, or anything CP-related for this week.

Or ask a question of our members related to CPs
Join the CP just by clicking the link #cpclubthursday and clicking join. That is all it takes! Too easy! Shall we make it to 210 or more members? There is already a wealth of CP info so why not just join our growing CP community at #cpclubthursday!

Happy Chompys 😊πŸͺ°πŸ¦ŸπŸš«

@Seymour #Seymour I love these little Nepenthes bags for sale ! Cute with the zipper
@Seymour omg!🀯 crazy prices but… πŸ˜‰πŸ€©πŸ«£ if you are a lover of these fabulous plants.. πŸ™ŒπŸ»πŸ’š Enjoy your day! Happy Halloween here in USA.
@CourtlyKingfern Thanks Evelyn. Hope you have a nice Halloween (whatever that means for you). I’ve seen prices over $1000 for some CPs but imagine if you bought one and then it died on you 😱 However those rare (and expensive ones) sold pretty quickly ! Sometimes I’m just happy to admire them from afar 😍πŸ₯°πŸ€©
@Seymour oh what’s a $1000.00 bucks to you! I am thinking you were the gentleman who won that Austrian lottery. 😜 πŸ™ŒπŸ»πŸ₯³
@CourtlyKingfern You seem well informed, Evelyn ! πŸ˜‚ 🀣πŸ₯³ Imagine the plants that can be bought πŸ€” πŸ’­ it’s was a mere $30 millionβ€¦πŸ«£
@Seymour yes!! πŸ€”πŸ« 
They are pretty though 😍. I will go $30 to $50 or so, for a really cool and well established plant, but leave all high dollar plants πŸ’°πŸ’΅ to those with high dollar greenhouses and such. I would be beside myself if I paid that much for a plant and it died. @Seymour Did you buy any new CPs during the sale?
I just bought a Ping Rock kit and a Drossera from CA CARNIVORES last night at 11:55....20% off ended at midnight! 🀣. I'm bad under pressure. Lucky I didn't throw 20 things in my cart. 🀣
@UltraKoreanfir This is one of the disadvantages about where I live (rather than most states in Australia). Because of the quarantine laws of my state, and the sale was in another state, they do not ship to my state so I was unable to buy any. I find with the additional costs associated with meeting quarantine requirements, I prefer to buy in my own state when I can. Luckily there is a major supplier of Nepenthes here so I usually buy from him and he has managed to secure many of the varieties shown in the sale.
But I see it as a good thing as the Nepenthes I have are really taking over the place so it’s just as well I didn’t buy in the sale. So all I could do was watch the sale and wish our quarantine laws weren’t so strict (for selfish reasons). If I lived in one of the Eastern States, there’s be no issue with buying at that sale or many of the CP suppliers over there. Somehow I managed to turn your simple question into a novel length answer !
@UltraKoreanfir congratulations on the Ping Rock kit and Drosera from CA CP, I don’t think you’ll regret your decision as CA CPs are usually very good quality and 20% is a good discount. Once again, I wish I could buy from many US CP suppliers but I just have to watch from afar ! There are still some good local CP suppliers I have gotten to know, just not many.
@UltraKoreanfir I did manage to buy a Cephalotus from an Eastern State supplier (although the additional quarantine fee was a bit hefty) just now so maybe it’s just as well I was unable to participate in the Nepenthes sale above !
@Seymour Yes...and sometimes we haven't yet enjoyed the full spectacular show of what we already have, so it's good to not get too overwhelmed as well 😜
My new babies
@shopofhorrors Lovely Jax, I need to look up a Lady Luck now ! They look really good πŸ‘ and already with lots of pitchers to open up and go crazy πŸ˜€πŸ‘ Share some more photos for this weeks #cpclubthursday if you like !
So who was the supplier? So I can recommend them if people ask.
@Seymour i wouldn't recommend the supplier. I got them cuz i saw a sale, posted them on Instagram when i got them, a friend said they bought from them and got thier plants infested with mites. So they're are in quarantine atm. I never have any other problems from these nurseries...
🌱california carnivores
🌱Predatory plants
🌱Sarracenia
🌱Carnivero - tx
🌱Rainbow carnivorous plants
🌱Pearl River Exotics
One of my lowland species
Also growing from seeds....so far so good....
@shopofhorrors Hey, thanks for the info Jax. I know some people were a bit unimpressed with Carnivero but certainly Cal CPs and Sarracenia get good reviews from what I’ve seen. Not good to have mites ! Appreciate your comment πŸ‘πŸ˜€
@shopofhorrors Wow that Lowland looks so good, that pitcher !🀩
@shopofhorrors Nepenthes seed? Is that a baby pitcher ?
@Seymour
As far as Carnivero, he is pricey and doesn't seem to have a lot of highland species, but i did get couple of pings from him that i like.
a friend from tx sent me one and as sood as i put it in this terrarium, it blossomed!
@Seymour yea i got seeds from a friend. And look here it took. But lets hope it grows big n strong. When that happens i can ship u a baby.
