But what's your personal favorite?

My personal favorite? Um, goodness.

I, I think the one that I love telling people about, because the, I find the biology so fascinating, is, um, it's a pitcher plant.

And when we think of Nepenthes pitcher plants, which many of us are, are familiar with, we think of them as these passive traps that sort of sit there, and insects are attracted, and they fall in, and they digest them.

And I guess that's pretty remarkable in and of itself because they've evolved to be carnivores.

But there's one pitcher plant, in fact, there are a handful of them, that have evolved a different way of acquiring nutrients.

So there's one called Low's pitcher plant.

W- when you've done events, um, around this book so far, what, what's the most common reaction that people have given you, uh, or common question that you've had?

Well, panel, can the rose recover, Chris?

Yeah, I mean, Karen, it's so soul destroying, and we've all had this experience of a, a beloved plant where something has befallen it that we weren't expecting.

I, I am hopeful actually.

I mean, this is certainly not the advice we would give, you know, that, that's not how intentionally you would treat a rose of course.

They really can survive a, a quite a hard prune.

They belong to the same family, uh, believe it or not, as brambles.

They're in the Rosaceae family.

Yeah.
