Darlingtonia
These pages are devoted to presenting information on Carnivorous Plants, a diverse group of plants that can attract, capture and digest small animals, mostly insects and their kin (AKA bugs). At this point, the info is nearly all in the form of photographs and some notes.
In hopes of making the pages here more interesting, I have placed many hidden links in the photos using bit maps; most web browsers will show you the presence of the links when you move the mouse cursor over the active part of the image. I plan on building this site into a collection of vitual herbariums using this technique. This way, you'll be able to view a photo of particular species of Carnivorous Plant and click on various portions of the plant to see a corresponding close-up photograph, usually shot from a different angle so you can better visualize the plants in three dimensions. I have made an effort to proportion the photos so they can be used as desktop backgrounds without any, or much, distortion.
Please note, all photos are owned by either Thomas K. Hayes or David P. Evans, unless mentioned otherwise. Images presented are for personal and educational use only. Please include reference to this site and Dangerous Plants when using images; thank you.
Here is table with links to the various genera on display here:
