I'm rather enjoying it, actually. I never comment because most of
it goes over my head, but it is still quite educational to follow along.

I'm enjoying it too... but I'm plant taxonomist by trade. I just
don't grow much in the way of carnivorous plants *yet*...

If you want to pick up some of the terminology in a reasonably
painless fashion, I highly recommend "The Visual Dictionary of
Plants", published by Dorling Kindersley. Wonderful illustrations
of all the plant-part terms that you sorta learned long ago in
general biology... Most book stores treat it as a kid's book,
though I use it as a lab reference for my students in general
biology and the initial portions of plant taxonomy.
