Open for business

This plant ( Sarracenia × catesbaei ) is carnivorous....... it closes its lid when a fly gets in.

I've always thought of those plants as scary :-).

Nicely captured, lots of tonal quality.

As a kid, I was very scared of them. At a visit to the botanical gardens, the teacher told us, that they where meat eating plants......pretty scary for a kid!
Nice capture!

Mooie foto van deze vleesetende plant.
( Duizendschoon is twee jarig. De plant loopt snel terug na een paar jaar.)

Ik hou van pitcherplants, toen we in Brunei woonden, maakten we speciaal tochten om ze op te zoeken

Doesn't look dangerous, does it! What happens if you put a finger inside it?
