Do you know where Venus Flytraps are from? It’s not the jungle. Venus flytraps only occur naturally within a 75-mile radius around Wilmington, North Carolina. This area is humid with nutrient poor soil, so the plants have an adapted to get their food from somewhere else — bugs. Bug meat! These carnivorous plants were relocated here by Stanley Rehder, a local plant enthusiast who saw them being threatened by local development, so he moved some to this officially protected area, where they are thriving. There are several other carnivorous plants in this garden, like: Pitcher plants, which traps bugs in a funnel lined with hairs that make escape unlikely. Sundews, which snare bugs with their sticky hairs. And, the Venus Flytrap, which has “jaws” and big teeth that clamp down on the bug and make escape nearly impossible. There are three trichomes (hair-like spikes) that rest in the middle of the plant’s mouth. These are, in effect, the Venus flytrap’s triggering mechanism. Once trapped, the venus flytrap uses digestive enzymes to break down the soft tissue of the fly before absorbing it as a nutritious meal. The trap reopens a week after a catch and is ready for another, using what remains of the fly to attract new prey. Also known as Dionaea muscipula, the Venus Flytrap thrives in humid, muggy habitats. Although the plant must rely on its ability to trap and eat insects to proliferate, the Carolina Bay is an ideal environment for the plant, because the plant can survive in the swamp’s nutrient poor soil. The Stanley Rehder Carnivorous Plant Garden is an ADA-accessible park and is open during daylight hours, seven days a week. The Garden is protected by a conservation easement held by the North Carolina Coastal Land Trust and is part of the Piney Ridge Nature Preserve.

Nepenthes bicalcarata is a species of flowering plants in the family Nepenthaceae. It is a carnivorous plant endemic to the island of Borneo in Southeast Asia. This species is found in the swampy peat forests of the northwest of the island at altitudes generally below 300 m. Endemic to Borneo, this species is considered the largest of the entire genus: the vine often reaches the canopy at 20 m above the ground. The pitchers can measure up to 25 cm tall and 16 cm wide. The uniqueness of this Nepenthes lies in the two giant nectaries found under the operculum, from which the species derives its name. Nepenthes bicalcarata harbors a mutualistic ant, Camponotus schmitzi, within its hollow tendrils. This unique plant-ant interaction was first described by Frederick William Burbidge in 1880. In 1904, Odoardo Beccari suggested that the ants feed on insects they retrieve from the bottom of the pitcher, risking falling in themselves.

Our carnivorous pitcher plant, Nepenthes robcantleyi, just produced its largest and hungriest trap yet.

You know I have an affinity for these unusual ferns! I think a lot of ant plants are incredible for their symbiotic relationships. @ariumbotanicals was lucky enough to get a special handful of these locally grown oddities from @pills23. They’re great as houseplants, mounts, in terrariums, or cabinets! I’ve been growing this species for years and it’s been fun seeing the rhizome just completely take over the pot! #plants #houseplants #plantshop #portland #weirdplants #lecanopterisdeparioides #fern
