Hello Carnivorous plant lovers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is my introductory message along with a request.

To begin with my name is Steven Swanson, I am 17 years old and live in
Pocatello, ID a small city with about 50,000 people. I have grown plants
on and off for most of my life and have always been interested in Carnivorous
plants but I don't have access to them here in Pocatello. But then about
3 days ago I saw a flat of Venus Flytraps in our local green house.

And this brings me to my request. I need to know how to choose a good,
healthy plant with which to start my venture. I also need detailed care
instructions so it at least won't die and will hopefully trive. Please
be specific in the instructions because I don't deal well with generalities.
Also the names of any good books that would probably be in our library or
good ftp sites, bbs, etc.

Thank you very much. I never thought I would find a group of
computer-nerd gardeners. (-:

Thanks again.
