Well I have been growing carnivorous plants for more years than I would like to admit to (around 45 years)
Currently a member of The Carnivorous Plant Society (UK) for (36 years) For most of that time held two positions on the General Committee 1 being the seed bank manager for 13 years. Currently held the position of Society Show Secretary 20 years mainly responsible for the display's at the Chelsea Flower Show and last years event at Kew Gardens when we held the International Carnivorous Plant Convention.

Also once a year hold an open day for members of the society to come along and see my collection and talk to myself and other members about Carnivorous plants in general and ask questions relating to growing propagation etc
Also sell a good number of my divisions of various plants.

Mainly grow sarracenia species and hybrids, have a reasonable good collection of Drosera's from around the globe along with quite a few Genlisea's & Utric's for good measure as well all housed in two greenhouse's set for different temperatures.

Paul :D
