To any IBM people who can help, could you please supply the chat room name
and the server name for the Jeff Golds carnivorous plant real time chat? I'd
love to
make the meeting on Sunday afternoon, but after several attempts the
provided software has fizzled out on me.

For Gurus:

I have a few questions about utricularia plants.

This question may be be dumb, but from reading books about the terrestrial
varieties of the plants, it seems to me that the bladders would be
underground. Am I completely wrong in this assumption? If I'm right,
what/how do they eat? It seems to me that utricularias NEED water in order
to make the traps work? Am I just missing the obvious here?

Also, as far as aquatic utriculrias and aldrovandas and genlisias go, can
any fish survive in the same conditions needed to grow them? I'm inheriting
a nice aquarium setup and can't make up my mind if I want to do fish or
aquatic CP's, but I was hoping to do both.

Thanks
