TM, they’re not low water use California natives for the most part, but they’re well worth checking out.

Susie, it WAS a major fun trip.

Susan, I can empathize since I’m another of those creatures that bugs find delectable. I’m not sure how effective these plants would be to keep down your bug population–I’d guess it’d take a garden full of them to make much difference. But what attracts me most to these plants isn’t their bug-catching abilities as much as their really cool forms.

Barbara, don’t deny yourself the wineries, since they’re part of the Sonoma County experience! I’ll be posting more on the winery/garden pairing that is prevalent all over that part of the state.

I am always impressed with the adaptations that plants (and other living organisms) come up with to thrive in the many different environments of our planet. These plants are just so cool — I love their colors and their tricks. Next time we head north, I’ll vote to drive past the wineries and head straight for California Carnivores. Well, hopefully we can do both!

This series of posts are the first ones that have made me consider the value in carnivorous plants. When we sit outside in the evenings, I am one of those people that the bugs love, while my husband relaxes bite-free. Not surprisingly, this makes me quite cranky. If there is a plant guaranteed to prefer the taste of mosquitos, I’m there!

I had no idea! Carniverous plants in Sebastopol. Well, next time I make a trip, I’ll at least have a look. They really are amazing…
