Nepenthes is arguably the most glorious and spectacular genus of carnivorous plants. These are the plants that fit so many of our stereotypical visions of what a carnivorous plant should be. Many come from steamy jungles in Southeast Asia, they form enormous vines that clamber up to the trees, and their carnivorous traps are great hungry looking maws that, dammit, look carnivorous. You don't need to understand the technical details of this plant to know that it is dangerous to animals! The package contains 10 seeds from a variety of Nepenthes Hybrid seeds.
Drosera come in a wide variety of forms, from all around the world The common name applied to these fascinating plants is Sundews. Currently there are something like 130 different known varieties. Some look like tiny bottle brushes whilst others resemble tall slender reeds. All of them have tiny tentacles tipped with a globule of glue like material which is used to trap their prey. They range in color from pales green through red but most of them have red tips on the tentacles. The leaves of Sundews are semi active, when they capture prey the leaf will close in around it and dissolve the insect with enzymes that are secreted by usually the central part of the leaf. Sundews will produce flowers in the spring and summer which can be white, pink or yellow and are borne of slender stems which are usually an inch or two above the tentacles.. They are well adapted and easy growers, a marvel of evolution and proof that all live is intelligent. The package contains 10 seeds from a variety of endemic Drosera.
