Useful and information packed
An easy to read book full of helpful details, even if we do pronounce our Latin slightly differently. The occasional humour keeps it light reading. Most persuasive - I planted my first Sarracenia yesterday!

Digital Carnivorous Plant Guide
Very surprising and useful information. "these are plants, not animals" was a revelation. Also that the flytrap was much more weather tolerant than I had imagined. I put my puny store bought plant outside in the flower box. I have been a subscriber out of curiosity for many years. It's getting time to place an order for some real plants. ~Bill~

I knew nothing about growing carnivorous plants so this guide was packed with info for me. Even more the help they offered through their website was just amazing. That they took the time to write detailed answers to my questions was just fantastic. I have bragged to friends about the help and how grateful I was they took such time and care!
