Butterwort

I am lucky enough to own 2 small tropical Butterwort plants, which supplement their nutrients with little flies and moths that find their way into our conservatory. They have sticky leaves, which the insects become attached to and are eventually digested, they can also digest pollen and other plant parts high in protein which may come in contact with the sticky leaves, thus making them both carnivorous and herbivorous. As you can see they also have very pretty flowers.

Grateful today for - just how amazing the natural world is.
