Carnivorous Plants
These Sarracenias where grown from seed about 10 years ago. Sarracenias are insect eating plants that live on bog land and require no fertilizer at all, their nutriments are derived from the flies that they catch and digest. The flowers they produce are quite unique. They are very slow growing but well worth the wait . The amount of flies they catch in their funnel shaped leaves
is amazing
