My daughter, the one with the fruit flies, got me Savage Garden and with a gift card from oldest son, I out in an order at Borders for Carnivorous Plants Of The World. Does anyone have this book? Opinions?
 
author?
 
Carnivorous Plants of the World by James Pietropaolo & Patricia Pietropaolo (owner of Peter Pauls Nursery) or A Guide to Carnivorous Plants of the World by Gordon Cheers?
 
If the first it is very good. lots of stuff on tuberous Drosera. The second book is also really good. Obviously not as good as 'The Savage Garden' but still really good. I wish I owned it. Oh yes and what do you mean by "moldest son" ? Does he grow mold

Read the post on cpukforum about the author of the book,I would,nt buy it.Not with the reputation the owner of the nursery has.

Oh how I HATE typos!

Jerry: Yeah, I heard about that after the fact. Oh well. I just picked it up after work on Saturday. It reads nore like a textbook, providing good info on plant structures.

Next on my list is Australian sundews and then Taylor's book on Utrics!
 
Better start saving now for Taylor's monograph on Utrics. It's gonna take a big bite out of your pocket change
