This book will take you into the lives of carnivorous plants
– plants that lure victims and set traps for them, plants that can move faster
than the blink of an eye – plants that turn the tables on animals. These are
species that grab nutrients from the air, not just the soil. Brightly coloured,
beautifully shaped, and astonishingly complex, these species grow throughout
Atlantic Canada.
All nineteen species and two hybrids of carnivorous plants
found in Atlantic Canada are discussed in this book – in fact this book
includes all of the carnivorous plant species found anywhere in Canada. Learn
where they grow, how they live, and how the astonishing trait of carnivory may
have evolved.
