Public Carniverous Plant Collections Subcategory Of Nature

[+TerryDad2]

A public carniverous plant collections subcategory of Nature. A place where gardens cultivate carniverous plants for display or sale. Wild populations could also be included but that runs the risk of collectors illegally harvesting them.

 

I started this in the wrong area http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=138728

Restarting it here

I think this would be a really neat idea. While on Isle Royale last week I saw three carniverous plants. (In wild of course.)

Yes, def. exclude those in the wild.

If they are not for sale and only "on display" why would people harvest them?

Why exclude "willd" ones? In our "Fen" we have a number of carniverous plants such as -Sundews - Pitcher Plants that are growing along the boardwalk for all to enjoy.

So there would be a parameters for

-Display type (wild, nusury, garden)

-Domanant genus or mix

-associated fee

-viewing hours

-best viewing months

I've started up the group. Carniverous Plant Localities

 

I'll see what becomes of it.

I could use some officers...

I got help, but I still need one more.

 

Most people think they are delacate plants, but they aren't. These are unique plants that are found throughout the world, from tropical to sub-artic climates. I want to be able to show everyone else just how wide spread they are and how interesting they can be.

I got the officers I needed. The category is up for an officer vote. Thanks.
