    Insectivorous and parasitic plants have evolved nutritional modes that are unlike the rest of the plant world, where self-sufficiency is the norm. This Native Plant Trust online class on February 3 from 1 – 4 covers more familiar pitcher plants, sundews, and dodder vines as well as lesser known groups such as the bladderworts and broom rapes (pictured below). Learn about the habitats, unusual life cycles, and curious behavior of these New England plants. Led by Neela de Zoysa, the class is $45 for NPT members, $54 for nonmembers.
