Title

Plants for Kids - Venus Flytraps, Carnivorous Plants and other Unusual Plants. No Boring Plants!

Description

I grew my first Venus Flytraps and Pitcher Plants when I was 12. My buddy Gary Maskarinec and I built our first greenhouse in Idaho Falls, Idaho and filled it with Carnivorous Plants which we bought by mail order. So now, the interest in these amazing plants had come full circle, to a new generation of kids.

Being a wholesale nurseryman, I never grow just one of anything. I dove back into Carnivorous Plants, developed Pitcher Plant breeding programs with Dr. Larry Mellichamp from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, grew Venus Flytrap seedlings by the tens of thousands with the help of Stanley Rehder in Wilmington, North Carolina, developed tissue cultured clones, and now am the proud owner of the world’s first patent on a carnivorous plant, Sarracenia ‘Cobra Nest,’ a beautiful colorful hybrid which is easy to grow, branches freely, and makes a dense full plant.

We have spent considerable time assisting museums and botanical gardens with Carnivorous Plant displays, and I have given numerous talks around the world on this astonishing group of plants.
