Pitcher Plants

My carnivorous plants are fat and happy this year since I put them in the garden for the summer. 90% of all carnivorous plants are native to and grown in North Carolina. And recently I’ve found out that there is a huge black market for pitchers. So much so that poachers are making big bucks stealing them and selling them. Now, scientists have found a way to graft cells and grow clone plants which are grown in a lab and sold from … wait for it … China.
