However, his personal passion is for the caniverous plants to be found in the southern United States, amongst a really inhospitable environment (eg: heat, humidity, snakes, water, bogs, ants, mosquitoes etc). These extraordinary plants can grow to about 4ft high in this area, and the photo is an example of what can be seen.
To find these locations really falls in to the category of modern exploration, as they are not easy to find, and are becoming rarer as land is drained and developed.
Julie brought along some the books her father (John Blowers) wrote about orchids, and is seen below chatting with Simon.
A very worthwhile evening. Catch him when you can.
