Sarracenia purpurea

It looks so friendly too.

Well done Amy! I love seeing these plants. They say they are hardy but I find it hard to believe!

Beautiful colour,Amy..just the thing to attract :o) xx

Very interesting.

So unusual ?

Like this a lot!

Thanks all I'm glad you like it , It takes care of itself in the winter Karen I've had this for several winters I put it in the cold greenhouse I take it out when the frosts have finished stand it in water and away it goes ,I've never seen it catch slugs though Lol ...

I like it too does eat flies.

Fascinating - what part of it does the eating?

Yes it eats flies 3p Gill the foliage part not the flower has long tubes pointing upwards with something inside which attracts insects once they go inside they can't escape ...

Thanks, Amy. I was trying to work out how those innocent looking petal would grab a fly :)

Stunning.

wow! amazing , I really love it , Amy :-)))
