The day before visiting Jerry, my friend Kinjie and I took a little detour to visit another local grower &#8211; &#8220;The Professor.&#8221; Carnivorous plant class was in session as The Professor, Kinjie, and I were discussing everything from the cultivation, to the genetics of these fascinating plants. This visit was a phenomenal prelude of things to come.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy a few frames (shot with both DSLR and iPhone) from our visit! Professor &#8211; thank you again for your kindness and generosity!
