Plant of the Day

Wednesday 24 January 2024

A popular insectivorous perennial hybrid, Sarracenia x stevensii (pitcher plant) has tall, slender, reddish-pink pitchers. These plants need a bright light in a frost free position with a moist but well–drained, acidic growing medium.

I present to you: he ultimate insectivorous! I love elephant shrews and hedgehogs, and bats and so I wanted to mix it all together! 😆 Don't worry, he only have spikes on the top of his head, so that his wings won't get injured when flapping.

With these eyes it was probably inspired with the work of lamartstudio on Instagram

Sarracenia x catesbaei is a natural hybrid of the carnivorous pitcher plants Sarracenia flava and Sarracenia purpurea. The flower structure encourages cross pollination and hybridization through naturally different entry and exit points so that pollination is much more likely to occur when a pollinator enters the flower and not when it exits. #Sarraceniaxcatesbaei #Sarracenia #catesbaei #Sarraceniaflowers #Sarraceniahybrid #carnivorous #canivorousplant #insectivorous #insectivorousplant #pitcherplant #botany https://www.instagram.com/p/CqD16HeOPYQ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

One of my three Venus Flytraps. Last spring I let one of the other ones bloom a beautiful flower, but that process is quite taxing on them & it is still recovering. 🌱🌱💀🌿🌿

This Big Brown Bat pictured here has the potential to eat 1,000 insects an hour! Due to their insect eating ability, these bats are able to protect our crops, like apples, from pesky bugs! So for “Apple Day,” enjoy a delicious apple and thank the bats!
