A meeting with Stewart McPherson

[strath76]

Khoas I too had the pleasure of sitting through Stewart's presentation at a VCPS meeting last night. The man is truely inspiring and I can hardly wait for the release of his two new books, Pitcher Plants of the Old World Volumes 1 &2. Stewart said he is writing at the moment and hoped to release them in January or February next year.

Some of the plants Stewart showed had not been seen since they were first discovered close to a hundred years ago. Certainly his story of being led through a prison farm by machette weilding murderers for three days certainly makes you appreciate what he goes through to research the books.

His passion is ceretainly evident and very infectious and I can highly recommend his books as they are a great read. As an added bonus he donates the profits of his books back into the conservation of CP's in the wild.
