Re: Carnivorous plants

Well, I don't know nuthin' 'bout carnivorous plants.  This place seems to
offer a lot of terrarium kits, but here's some of the plants
Venus Fly Trap
11 kinds of Sarracenia
4 kinds of Sundew, Drosera
Darlingtonia
Butterwort, Pinguicula
2 Terrestrial Bladderworts
Cephalotus
3 kinds of Nepenthes
They also offer seed packets

.......At least, that's what it says.....
