Plant of the Day

Sunday 10 July 2022

This display of carnivorous plants at the Royal Horticultural Society Hampton Court Flower Show included a great specimen of Drosera binata (forked sundew) and various species and cultivars of Sarracenia (pitcher plants, trumpet pitchers). These plants are adapted to derive some or most of their nutrients from trapping and consuming animals, normal insects.

At long last - finished Nepenthes ampullaria. I think maybe that’s enough spotted Nepenthes pitchers for while. #botanicalillustration #nepenthesampullaria #pitcherplants

The mountain pitcher plant (Sarracenia jonesii) and its cataract bog habitat. These are essentially clumps of bog vegetation clinging to the side of a waterfall.

Pitcher Plants (Nepenthes rajah), native to Malaysian Borneo, are insectivorous, typically trapping and eating insects, but reliable sources have also observed larger organisms like rats trapped inside these large pitchers. #SciArt by Matilda Smith for Curtis's Botanical Magazine, Vol. 131 (1905) edited by Joseph Dalton Hooker.
