I've just completed the final(?) year of a Bachelor of Applied Science in
Computer Science here at R.M.I.T. (not to be confused with M.I.T. in the
states!). I've been growing CP's for around 8 or 9 years, after discovering
Adrian Slack's book "Carnivorous Plants" in the library at the technical
school I went to (year 7-11, year 12 at high school to get my HSC/VCE for
entry into university).
My collection of plants consists mostly of Sarracenias (except
oreophylla), native and other Droseras, some Albany pitcher plants
(Cephalotus), a flowering Byblis gigantea, VFT's, several terrestrial
Utricularias, some Cobra Lilies, a couple of Nepenthes (surviving, but
not thriving), some Pinguiculas and a Polypomphlox tenella (renaming it
Utricularia tenella was a bad move in my books :)
I'm also a member of the Victorian Carnivorous Plant Society, which is a small
group with big ambitions, having secured some areas in botanic gardens for CP's
and trying to get more! I will most likely be joining the ICPS next year.
