Carnivorous Plants

Carnivorous plants are wonders of nature. They have developed clever mechanisms to attract, capture and digest insects. Their modified leaves take on a variety of shapes, from jaw traps like Venus flytraps to the slimy leaves of Drosera and urns of Sarracenia . These plants thrive in habitats with nutrient-poor soil and benefit from their specialized diet. Carnivorous plants are astonishing proof of the diversity and adaptability of the plant kingdom.
