Description
Plants are always considered the producers on earth. They photosynthesize and other organisms live off their products. However, there is an underworld of plants that have turned the tables on animals and are carnivorous.
This ebook details one family of carnivorous plants, the North American Pitcher Plants. I hope you enjoy this introduction to the remarkable and fascinating underworld of plant biology.
I have spent 15 years as a university lecturer studying these plants, and I got to use some highly technical research equipment. I have written this ebook for people interested in carnivorous plants and who are interested in growing them or just looking at pictures and movies of them. But I have also written it for those people interested in the science behind them and who want to learn more about the world around them. There is more detail on the pitcher plants here than I have ever seen in a book before. Also there are electron microscope pictures of the plants that will allow you to view them as never before seen in textbooks.
I hope this brings you as much pleasure as it has been for me to study these incredible and fascinating plants.
