Drosera snap-tentacles:
In 2005 we published (DAS
TAUBLATT) the ability of Drosera glanduligera
to retract its unique marginal tentacles in sensationel 0.16 seconds,
which is about as rapid as the Venus Flytrap snap-shuts. In 2007
followed a detailled publication that shows the quite different
tentacles of the genus (2010 published in CPN). The following videos
show many of our experiments.

taken by the famous author of CP-books, Stewart McPherson. Produced
with his
kind permission.

Triggerplants (Stylidium)
The
rapid moving flowers of this mainly Western Australian genus are very
interesting. Stylidium is growing frequently in the same habitats
as CP.

CP in Switzerland
The well known Swiss
teacher and author Ruedi Fürst (CH) guides us through bogs in
Switzerland. We show growing sites with Aldrovanda vesiculosa and Sarracenia purpurea.

| CP-trip in Australia
2001
we travel again to Australia to film CP.
Invited by Michael Gabour,
owner of the
Court House Hotel (Port Douglas), we are even able to
record a wonderful Blues-soundtrack
for our resulting DVD. Thanks to
Kirstie Wulf,
Greg Bourke and Trevor Hannam we are able
to provide many
CP-sites and adventures.

The anual Drosera
species develop the most sophisticated trapping mechanisms in the genus
to catch enough protein for a complete life-cycle within a single season.
In 2010 this footage awarded a 2nd price in the ChloroFilms Plant Biology Contest.

On CP-Tour with
Stewart McPherson
We edited Stewart McPherson's
tour videos to several Tepuis and provide our result in 6
parts. Experience breathtaking helicopter flights, pictures
of unique landscapes and many endemic plants. Our movie shows all Heliamphora species described until 2010.
Our thank goes to Stew, who kindly provided his videos for our DVD.

Pulvinus and Movement
in Byblis (2 parts)
In 2009, Brian Barnes published the surprising movement of leaves in Byblis.
We show this in time-lapse. The movement is caused by pulvini,
cell-structures which are also known from other plant families.

Drosera tentacels
We show different Drosera tentacles, including the fastest sundew on earth: D glanduligera
in 2 parts. The results of our comparative examinations on the genus
received a great feedback from CP-enthusiasts world wide. Excerpts from
our DVD "Triple E meets Triphyophyllum" and "Snap-Tentacles And Runway-Lights". |

Sarracenia - Endangered Gems (HD)
In May 2011 we visit Alabama and Florida
(USA) to film the last habitats of several Sarracenia
in High Definition. Guided by Brian Barnes, we are able to provide an
entertaining CP-tour. The complete bilingual movie is
available as
normal DVD
or in HD on Blu-ray disc.
