About me: I’m fairly new in the horticulture scene. I was originally a herpeticulturist with up to 200 herps, but my girlfriend converted me to the plants. I am most fascinated by the strange and unusual types. My favorites are Amorphophallus, Aristolochias, Ceropegias, nepenthes, and sarracenias. I have a collection of each as well as a collection of orchids and succulents. I hope to eventually propagate and sell/trade some of these wonderful plants!

My zone is: 9B / 10A
