thought the Drosera from http://www.hampshire-carnivorous-plants.co.uk/
would
be very interesting to those who have problems with whitefly in
greenhouses.

I find Pinguicula (butterwort) are best for whitefly - I think the colour
of the pale leaves attracts them (rather like the yellow fly papers do)

Agreed Sacha, Carol was great again last night, liked the 'air plants' the
Italian/Belgian grower was brill. Is there an on-line site anywhere for air
plants?

K, ref the above Hampshire pic, do you know what the low growing, white
flowering plant, bottom of pic, left of centre. TIA

No, not a clue! Most of those are Sarracenia, so presumably another
species. Aren't they pitchers rather than flowers?


Here's a link to their site: http://www.hantsflytrap.com/content/index.php
and this one has a few air plants:
