I had a ton of fun in the field with Barry Rice and his wife Beth, Brian Barnes, Jim Miller. Plenty of tomfoolery in these videos.

Hey Randy,

Thanks for posting these.

I want to mention right away, before I start getting any accusatory emails, that the plants I am filmed collecting are part of a scientific documentation process. These plants have never before been documented, and the specimens we collected were immediately pressed between books, and are being prepared for submission to an herbarium.

That's how science works!

Folks who might be desperate to get hybrids of these plants could get them readily enough by creating them, themselves, just as bees did it in the wild.

What books? I wonder if these just happened to be available for the task:
"Monster Plants: Meat Eaters, Real Stinkers, and Other Leafy Oddities"
www.sarracenia.com/cp.html#monster
and/or
"Growing Carnivorous Plants"

Great videos, Randy!

Well done. It was a real pleasure to explore and document these fine plants with you, Barry, Beth and Jim. I look forward to meeting up with everyone again soon!

I wished I would have camped with you on site that night. The glowing D. filiformis plants, flower and early morning shots are spectacular.

Happy Growing,

Brian.

great video!! I love those deep red pings and the filiformis plants. And I especially like how you put repeats and slow motions of you guys being random.
