Introduction

You can read about the history of Cambodia, about the wars that ruined this place and its recent trials of rebirth in any book. What we have to consider here, talking just about the pitcher plants point of view, is that most of the territory is still full of mines, and people – especially tourists – can only explore those places and roads that have been considered safe and used many times without any accident. Plus, you can only go there if you have a guide. But, if the human race wasn't so bad and Cambodia was an absolutely safe place (if you've been there and you want to write a few lines to explain us a little bit better how things work with safety and excursions, you're welcome), what we could have seen?

These are the main characters of our play, two lowland and two highland species. Look at The Map if you want to see where these taxons are happily growing, in a place where humans are still forced to stay away from nature.
