I have held a passing fancy for carnivorous plants for some time now,
sparked by an installment of "Nature" on PBS dedicated to the subject.
I am particularly interested in sundews, they seem to be very elegant
hunters.
Anyway, my interest in sundews has come to the forefront lately for a
very practical reason. I have just opened an office for my business and
one or more of the gift plants I received had some fruit flys or some
such creature on it and now I have TONS of them. Rather than fill the
rooms with chemicals to eradicate the beasts I thought a couple of well
placed sundews would be not only a better solution but a great excuse to
learn more about the plants and their cousins.
Can anyone tell me where I could locate one or more flavors of sundew at
this chilly time of the year (I am in the North East), and I very much
welcome advice regarding their care as well as good reading material,
etc.
Thanks!
