Chris,
I have the double video of the Private life of plants, and I found it
very interesting. Although CP only feature in only two (from memory)
episodes, the information is very interesting. It shows Sarracenia
growing in their nautral habitat, Nepenthes growing on Mount Kinanbalu,
and Heliamphora along with Drosera and Utricularia gorwing on one of
the South American teupis (Sorry about spelling).
