Sex and Death: Orchids, Carnivorous Plants and Us

‘Sex and Death: Orchids, Carnivorous Plants and Us’ is coming to the Sydney Tropical Centre, that giant glass pyramid, starting Thursday 1 December 2005. The exhibition will be open for three years, but some of the orchids only bloom a few times each summer, and the flowers only last two days. "Stunning displays of orchids and carnivorous plants with humorous interpretation will tell the story of fundamental evolutionary processes. The seduction of insects by plants, their unwitting co-operation and the cruel deception leading to inevitable death will be played out using rare and unusual orchids and sinister carnivorous plants." Just my kind of thing.
