CARNIVOROUS PLANT LINKS
The terrariums are being trotted out from the basement, and my dormant carnivorous plants have started new growth!

YouTube video: Attenborough does Venus Flytraps and trumpet pitchers.

Another fun little link sent to me by friend and fellow LJer [info]droserary pertaining to the less-than-chaste origins of the Venus flytrap's name. Would you believe it was once known among randy old naturalists as the "tipitiwitchet"? A fact!

Am expecting some new plants this week for my terrarium. Also planning a bog garden in my new backyard. More to follow.

I now leave you with some horticultural advice from Stephen Hawking. Stephen has a question towards the end. Perhaps you might be able to help:
