The Tampa Audubon Society’s September program is Florida’s Carnivorous Plants presented by Kenny Coogan, Education Director, International Carnivorous Plant Society and co-host of WMNF’s Sustainable Living show (Mondays 10am – 11am).

Learn about Florida’s endemic carnivorous plants! Florida has dozens of native species of carnivorous plants – more than any other state in the United States. These plants use appealing scents, leaves, and sticky fluids to trap and imprison insects.
