You say you wanted to go see the total Solar Eclipse in Spain, but your dog ate the plane tickets? You say you were all set to attend the ICPS Conference in Leiden, but your spouse spent your CP mad money fund on catnip treats? You say you now got nothing to do on Saturday, August 15th at 11:11 AM but sit around and mope in your greenhouse? Is that what’s troubling you, Bubbeleh?
Well, you just lift yer head up high, And take a drive out to Woodland Hills with dignity and determination, And ya show those plants, ya show those plants off to other plerds, And you’ll never give up, never give up…Those carnivorous plants!
So mark your calendars, True Believers, the next LACPS meeting is coming up!
Where will it be?
This time around we will be meeting at our Woodland Hills location…which is in the lovely western San Fernando Valley at 4501 Deseret Dr., Woodland Hills 91364 in the LDS Temple. Enter the parking lot off of Deseret, don’t park on Mulholland, or it will be a long walk for you!
Check out the nifty graphic below to see how to enter the parking lot.
When is it?
The meeting is on Saturday, August 15th at 11:11 AM.
Afterwards whoever wishes can join us as we run off to some local eatery for some nosh.
Entry fee, as always, is $4
What to expect
And what can you expect at this month’s meeting? Well, for a measly $4 (Cheap!) entrance fee;
- A COMPLIMENTARY packet of Nepenthes Seed (your choice of pure ventricosa, or a ventricosa(mostly)/talangensis cross)
- Access to the LACPS Seedbank, available from the Keeper of the Seeds (KOTS) John Green! Mostly Sarracenia, but there’s other goodies as well. Check out the seedbank page for what’s available and you can place your order in advance with John to guarantee availability. The seedbank is available to everyone to purchase from, and the prices are super cheap and only available at the meetings! In addition, DJ will have some special packets of Drosophyllum seeds as well as Venus Flytrap Mixed Forms, special Artisanal Sarracenia crosses, and others priced at $1 a packet.
- Plants for sale or trade! A chance to sell or trade your extra plants with no kickback to LACPS required!
- Knosh and drinks (including special, super rare, highly sought after Marvel Super Hero themed Oreos and Ale-8-One Pawpaw Artisanal soda! What other CP society would bring you that!?)
- Interesting and quirky conversations on all sorts of subjects, not just Insectivorous Plants! Don’t be shy!
- An open invitation to the traditional after meeting gathering at an as-yet-to-be-determined eatery for a late lunch (at participant’s own expense, natch!). Provided someone does the necessary research to birddog a couple of prospective places.
- The opportunity to purchase some exclusive LACPS Swag for your very own! This includes the latest T-Shirt and VERY limited edition Baseball Cap. Remember, part of the mission of clubs like ours is to spread info and education. You may not think you have anything valuable to share, but it almost certainly will have value to someone, even if it’s just advice to beginners!
Be there, or be Icosahedronal!
