Product Description

Synopsis
There are several hundred species of carnivorous plants on our planet. This text is a guide to these savage beauties that are easy to grow and thrive in gardens, terrariums and windowsill just about anywhere.

From the Publisher
Publisher's Weekly Review
Beyond the Venus flytrap stretch the father horizons of "the strange world of carnivorous plants," chronicled in The Savage Garden: Cultivating Carnivorous Plants. Guiding readers, squemish or not, through this unfamiliar terrain is Peter D'Amato, owner of a carnivorous plant nursery in California. Covering cultivation and offering a directory of popular species, sundews and American pitcher plants among them, D'Amato capitalizes on the shivery associations commonly inspired by his subjects, as in the title of his final chapter, "Other Savage Plants from the Demented Mind of Mother Nature." (Ten Speed, $19.95 320p ISBN 0-89815-915-6; June)
