another kind of modified leaves, while i wait for this build… these are American pitcher plants, sarricenia, and they have a more passive technique for getting snacks— they just wait till they fall in! #carniverousPlants #sarracenia

Someone got a snack! #carniverousPlants #venusFlytrap

Today in Meet The Pings, we have the first flower of the season!

Pinguicula blooms are small, on long stalks, and have long spurs. This one is a particularly lovely pink!

The other day when watering my little nepenthes "Gaya" (a small carniverous pitcher plant), I looked under one leaf to discover not one, not two, but THREE new baby Gayas having started growing on their own! The babies already have two tiny well formed pitchers, plus two more pitchers beginning to form. Very exciting!
The babies and their tiny pitchers are amazing because they are perfect miniatures of the adult plant.

Meet the Pings: pt 2 The Chonky Ones

these two are further on in coming out of dormancy, the first is working on a flower (which are gorgeous!), and the second has found some fungus gnats for a snack! For those that don’t lure in some noms (they have decimated the gnat pop in my office, as intended!!), i have fish flakes to sprinkle on their leaves!

Meet The Pings! Pt 1: the tiny friends!

these are pinguicula just coming out of their winter dormancy, and working on growing bigger, sticky, carnivorous leaves, now that their winter dry period is over! I love how out of place the new leaves look, just sticking out the top! #pings #carniverousPlants #pinguicula #plants

In case you haven’t seen baby flytrap leaves, please join me in loving that the leaf grows upwards then *unfolds* it’s trap! #plants #carniverousPlants #venusFlytrap

good day for plants here… #pinguicula #orchids #plants #carniverousPlants

Bíonn sé i bhfad níos éasca dul i ngleic leis an méid feithidí anseo le cuilghaiste Véineas

It's way easier to put up with the amount of insects here with a venus flytrap

Hoping that some of my winter sundews do well this year. It’s been colder than normal. Rest of my carnivorous plants have gone dormant for the season…… #nature #garden #carniverousplants
