The
award-winning New England Carnivorous Plant
Society (NECPS) returns to showcase a fascinating group of plants sure to
captivate and amaze. Featured plants include pitcher plants from Malaysia with
traps the size of softballs that are capable of eating lizards and mice. There
will also be sundews from Australia ranging from the size of a dime to 12+
inches high and the ever-popular Venus Fly trap. For all native plant lovers,
NECPS will also display carnivorous plants that grow locally in Massachusetts
and throughout New England.
Over 300 plants
are scheduled to be on display and seminars will be offered on growing and
feeding carnivorous plants. Visit the Venus Fly Trap feeding station where you
can observe up close how these plants devour insects. Plants and growing
accessories will be available for purchase for both novice and experienced
growers from carnivorous plant vendors and the NECPS. Society members will be
present both days to explain how the plants feed, what they eat, where they
live, and how they can be grown and enjoyed at home.
