Members of the CPList

I hope that we do not need to elaborate much more on Barry's
experience. But I do need to say that, as a complete newcomer
to CP's as of a few months ago, I have found the members of this
list to be most generous with both their time (in giving advice)
and with their plants and seeds. Without you people I would
have nothing but a dept. store VFT.

Those of you who have been in this for years may have forgotten
your excitement at seeing the first bloom on a ping, or all the
fungus gnats trapped on drosera (which now have flower spikes!),
and the absolute marvel of nepenthes. I just wander around my
greenhouse with a sense of wonder. In addition, the members of
the bromlist and the orchid digest have been, with one exception,
just as kind and generous. Please, let's continue this tradition
of tolerance and generousity.

And, if and when Barry is able to begin to reestablish his collection,
let's all agree to help him.
