Look like someone here in Houston got a cause of Crypt fever. Great job man! I know where to go if I ever need some.

So now that a few folks from Houston have the fever, has anyone collected C. beckettii from the San Marcos?

Cheers.

Hey Jim, it was good meeting you at the AGA convention. We tried last year. But there was some construction going around the river where the crypts were supposed to be. We have a confirmed sighting from another spot now. We will try to collect it this year during the Houston PlantFest.
Thanks

Hey Bhushan, it was nice meeting you as well. Don't forget your friends in GWAPA if you're able to collect some this year. There are a couple of us that would be interested in comparing it with what we have and adding to our collections.

Cheers.
Jim
