An orchid fancier with a CP problem
Earlier today my neighbor and his ten year old daughter were over for a visit. After I showed her the whiskey barrel bog she started to describe for me the "giant" traps she saw on a VFT on a televsion show. Her father had caught a small fly and she told him where to put it, down the open pitcher of a sarrc. and then told him, "you just gave him some nourishment"
She then asked me if I had any sundews. I took them inside and showed off the sundews among the orchids. Right now I have D. prolifera, D. adelae and D. aliciae. She asked me which ones curl their leaves around the prey, then spotted an aliciae with a curled leaf. She pointed out the remains of a gnat on the leaf of an adelae to her father and topped off the visit by noticing the similarities in leaf shape and color of two related phal orchids among a dozen more.
Her father said that he never heard about all this bug eating plant stuff, except VFTs, before today and here his daughter already knew a lot about it. I'm debating what type of CP to give her.
