Hi, "long time listener, first time caller." I know little about
carnivorous plants but am fascinated with them. I have just gotten
approval to start a collection of this group of plants and am looking
for guidance and suggsetions. Our aim is to use these plants for
educational programs as well as "on exhibit" where appropriate. For
educational uses I would think some of the more "spectacular" kinds
would be best though budgetary constraints will rule out any of the very
expensive (rare?) species. We also generally prefer not to deal with
nurseries/suppliers that wild-dig plants because of ethical reasons.
Any suggestions of what species to aquire and from where would be much
appreciated. Thanks.
