Why did I write the FAQ?
- I have grown thousands of carnivorous plants since 1986, from every genus thought to be carnivorous (except Triphyophyllum), so I have done and seen a lot.
- I have photographed and written extensively on carnivorous plants, and my work has appeared in many journals and newspapers. As such I can write clearly using phrases such as "as such"; I can even use a semicolon with a certain degree of accuracy.
- I have a strong conservation ethic, and am part of The Nature Conservancy's Global Invasive Species Initiative. I am a member of the IUCN's Specialist Groups in Carnivorous Plants and North American Plants. AND, I am the Director of Conservation for the International Carnivorous Plant Society. So my heart is in the right general area.
- I am one of the editors of Carnivorous Plant Newsletter, so I like to spread information around widely.
- Someone had to do it!
