Carnivorous Venus
Back To Basics With Gardening Themed Christmas Gifts (Christmas Gifts) by John Smith
It is official. Gardening is the new rock and roll. Gone is that old fashioned image of retired men digging for victory, tending to their rose bushes and raking the moss from the grass to produce the perfect lawn. Nowadays gardening is a trendy hobby, encouraged by the interest in organic food and healthy eating. Anyone with a garden, be it a tiny back yard or a huge and rambling stretch of land with a babbling brook, is enjoying the fresh air and experiencing green exercise as they dig and hoe, reap and sow.
Growing your own fruit and vegetables is not only fun but productive too. The whole family get to enjoy the home grown crop of tomatoes and runner beans straight from the plant and with plenty of greenhouses being added to the garden, many people are growing wonderful grapes, peaches and kiwis too. Children are always fascinated to learn how to grow edible produce and are proud of the end product. We are all being encouraged to start our own compost heaps and turn our lawn cuttings, egg shells and uneaten raw fruit and vegetable scraps into lovely soil to replenish our flower beds. The money that can be saved by growing your own food is tremendous. This Christmas, treat someone you love by giving them something to grow and nurture into fruition. There are so many great Christmas gifts for everyone, from young children who long to try out their cultivation skills to those who have had green fingers for many years. The great thing about gardening is that no matter how long you have been at it there is always something new to learn and something new to grow.
Exotic house plants enhance any room but there is no arguing with the fact that they can be quite expensive, but if you try your hand at growing your own you will find that you have several spare plants which you can give away as presents or swap with an eager neighbour. Children and adults alike will be fascinated by that well known carnivorous plant that catches flies and traps them for its dinner. The Grow Your Own Venus Fly Trap kit has everything needed to germinate and grow on these wonderful and unusual tropical plants, including the plant seeds, compost pellet and terracotta pot and all you need to do is add the water. It really is as simple as that, so even those people who have never grown a plant in their whole lives can be amazed at their new horticultural skills.
If you need to find Christmas gifts for someone who loves to cook, the Grow It Gift Box Herb Garden will be perfect. They can grow their own basil, chives, rosemary and parsley and the kit includes coconut discs and starter pots made from coconut husks. They will also get plant labels so that there is no confusion about which plant is which then all they need to do is keep on watering, watching and waiting until they have a fabulous display of fresh herbs on their kitchen windowsill, all ready to be added to their culinary creations.
If you have spent a few hours in the garden working hard, you will really need someone to bring you a cup of tea every now and again to keep you going. The Cuppa Please Gardening Knee Pad is perfect for those times when you need to get up close and personal with those weeds. Spending time kneeling on the damp soil or grass is no fun, so this knee pad will save your from getting soaked as well as giving you a comfortable surface to work on.
Garden gnomes have brightened up our gardens for such a long time. They love to sit next to the pond and watch the frogs leap about or hide under the pear tree. Children adore them and will love the Paint Your Own Garden Gnome. This cute little fellow will look splendid when he has been painted in the six bright paint colours that come with this kit, along with a paintbrush and instructions.
If you know someone who is just starting out with the whole gardening experience, the Little Book Of Gardening Tips will make a great Christmas gift. Advice from professional gardeners about pruning, composting, growing, garden planning and combating garden pests will help them overcome any problems that they encounter. Christmas gifts such as this useful book are great for newly weds or anyone who has just moved into their first home, but it is great for those who have gardened for ages too. Give them Christmas gifts to turn their fingers green this year.

The Carnivorous Lamb $17.91 The latest in the Little Sister’s Classics series resurrecting gay and lesbian literary gems: a viciously funny, shocking yet ultimately moving 1975 novel, an allegory of Franco’s Spain, about a young gay man (the self-described "carnivorous lamb") coming of age with a mother who despises him, a father who ignores him, and a brother who loves him. Author Agustin Gomez-Arcos left his native Spain for France in the 1960s to escape its censorship policies. The Carnivorous Lamb, originally written in French, won the Prix Hermes, and this, its 1984 English translation, was widely acclaimed. |

PREFACE The experience which has led to the writing of this book began in 1929 when, examining a species related to Utricularia gibba, / made an observation of some importance in understanding the mechanism of the trap. This begot a desire to study as many other species of the genus as I could obtain for com parison, primarily to determine the validity of my conclusions. My feeling that research in this field was promising was strengthened by the discovery that the pertinent literature was singularly barren of the information most needed, that is to say, precise accounts of the structure of theentrance mechanisms of the traps. And an examination of much herbarium material, because of the meagreness of the underground parts of the terrestrial types resulting from indifferent methods of collection, forced the conclusion that, even had other difficulties inherent in studying dried material not intervened, it would be necessary to obtain adequately preserved specimens. This meant a wide cor re spondence and, if possible, extensive travel. The uncertainty of achieving the latter made the former imperative. The responses to my requests for help were numerous and generous from all parts of the world, with the result that there came to me from many sources well preserved material which fairly represented the genus, for it brought to me some 100 of the total of 250 or more species. The most lavish single contribu tion was put at my disposal by my teacher and friend, KARL VON GOEBEL, who gave me a collection of Utricularia collected by him in the tropics of the Old and New Worlds, and in temperate Australia. Many others, while they may have contributed less in amount, could have been no less generous, for the work of collecting, preserving, packing and posting specimens is by no means an easy job. Travels included two journeys, one to Africa and one to Africa and Aus |

Grow Your Own Venus Fly Trap by Phillips, Sara Edition , 0 $14.99 Enter the mysterious realm of a true oddity-a carnivorous plant. The book that comes with this kit leads you on an absorbing journey from a contemplation of how the flytrap works without muscles or nerves to the care and feeding of the plant. Scientists as well as everyday gardeners are fascinated by this natural wonder, which-despite its primeval exoticism-is actually indigenous to the southern U.S. The kit contains Venus Flytrap seeds, mini planter, peat pellet, sand, sealable plastic bag for a terrarium effect, and the 32-page guidebook. The plant doesn’t actually grow as fast or as large as the most famous Venus Flytrap-“Audrey” in Little Shop of Horrors-but that’s good news for the pets in the family. |
