This class explores the fascinating and strange world of carnivorous plants, including Venus Flytrap, pitcher plants, sundews, and more. Arizona is not exactly a hot bed for these plants, but they are worthy of discussion anywhere. While very distinctive in many ways, all carnivorous plants have several traits in common. Join us for a look at these remarkable plants that turn the usual order of things on its head.
