Hi All,
Have to put in my .02 cents here about what Bob wrote. I used to order
regularly from WIP back in the "old days" and these growing tips which
were included with each order are really worth getting ahold of! (I
think that would be a great idea to assemble these in a set Bob.) Also,
the book, 'Carnivorous Plants of the USA and Canada' by Schnell is a
"must" for anyone who is serious about carnivorous plants. I don't think
you'll ever see it offered at this low price again, so if you don't have
a copy yet, I highly recommend picking one up.
Take Care,
Doug
