I'm currently trying to figure out how to use Flickr for the forum to try and get some stuff sorted out and hopefully make the whole photo upload process a lot easier.... lets see if I can figure it out... wish me luck :D

Carnivorous Collection

Hey Everyone,
I've just added a new "page" to my blog, that I'll use to list all my carnivorous plants, and link through to a post with photos and information about them.  Below is what I've got on the new page:


My love of carnivores has suddenly exploded and boy oh boy, the number of carnivores is growing at the same rate of the number of orchids when I first started out with them... so who knows where it might lead.... I don't think I'll be able to fit too many more collections into our yard without pushing mum's patience too far ;).  Mum's being really good about it and encouraging me, but so far I've got the orchids going (I calculated that it's about 66 sq metres under shade cloth this week), so who knows what's going to happen if/when my collection of carnivores and succulents/cacti get that big ;)

Anywhos, here's my list of carnivores so far; I'm going to try and link each plant to atleast a photo once they form some nice pitchers (they're currently in dormancy):
