Newly described Nepenthes pongoides
With pitchers that clock in at a healthy 45cm & hold over 2L of fluid, Nepenthes pongoides is one of the largest Nepenthes ever discovered.

Rainbow Plant
The Rainbow plant is a beautiful and delicate carnivore with elegant flowers and sparkling leaves that shimmer in the sunlight.

Sun Pitcher Plant
The Sun Pitcher Plant (Heliamphora) is an exotic pitcher plant growing among the clouds of South America. A relative of the North American Sarracenia and Darlingtonia californica, the pitfall traps turn solid hues of green, red, and dark purple.
Butterwort
Butterworts are the carnivorous plant equivalent of flypaper. Commonly referred to as “pings” from their scientific name Pinguicula, this name means “little greasy one” in Latin. It is derived from their broad green leaves that are covered with tiny glandular hairs that secrete sticky mucilage, greasy to the touch.

North American Pitcher Plant
The North American pitcher plant is a master of deception. Beautiful pitcher-shaped traps are actually intricate natural adaptations to capture and digest insects in order to uptake minerals otherwise lacking in soil.
Venus Flytrap
With its menacing teeth and snapping jaws, it’s no surprise that the Venus flytrap has become the poster-child of carnivorous plants. This famous plant’s animalistic appearance almost makes it feel as though it is a thinking, calculating predator.
