CP in the news

The Milwaukee Journal - Sentinel had an interesting photo on the
front page of its' busines section today. It shows a very healthy VFT leaf
and trap on a highway billboard. The caption reads,"Please don't feed the
flowers".

The billboard is promoting the Mitchell Park Horticultural
Conservatory. (The Domes) It is one in a series of lighthearted billboards
highlighting local area attractions.

The VFT shown is from my collection. Although only a hobbyist, I
have set up and maintained a CP collection at The Domes since February. The
display was for their involvement in "The Jason Project". The advertising
agency contacted me to borrow a VFT to photograph for the billboard. I was
more than happy to comply.

The billboards will be all over the city for the next 18 months. It
is refreshing to see such a deserving creature (The plant, not me.) get its'
place in the spotlight. :)

Good growing,
