What an incredible world. A bug looks around for a meal...and becomes a meal instead. This is the world of the Carnivorous Plant. Botanical wonders that thrive in nutrient poor places. No nitrogen fertilizer for plant growth? No problem. Just catch your own. This is the strategy that these plants have evolved to flourish.

There is so much great resource out there on the web on how to grow these masterpieces of Nature. So my website will not talk so much on how to grow these Hungry Plants. Instead, I will show you some nifty images. I've been growing these beauties for over three decades.

And for all us obsessed Canadians looking for other friendly Canadians growing Carnivorous plants, check out this Ontario CP club forum - full of great pictures and helpful people: Ontario Carnivorous Plant Society.

Here are some more images I've collected over the years. Photos taken by my friends, colleagues and myself. My favourites photos are those taken out in the wild... where they should stay, be protected and be appreciated by many future generations to come.

I've prepared three subsections on my Carnivorous plant (CP) web section:

ICPS


The International Carnivorous Plant Society (ICPS) was founded over 35 years ago and over the decades, has built an incredible worldwide network of CP enthusiasts sharing enthusiasm, knowledge and passion.

I am pleased to be a part of their network, as a site on their "Web Ring". Please visit their site, the ICPS, and other members on the Webring. I have been in touch with a few other "old timer" CP colleagues and I will be placing some of our memories onto my website here - with scans of old CP catalogues, discussion papers, old newsletters and other memorabilia.
