This beautiful display features three preserved pitchers from American pitcher plants of the genus Sarracenia. These carnivorous plants grow in boggy conditions with poor soil, so they've evolved to get their extra nutrients by devouring insects! The hapless victims are lured by sweet liquids to the rim of the pitcher, where they'll find themselves losing their grip on the slippery edge until they fall inside, to be digested by the pitcher.

The largest of the pitchers is a red-veined green with a wide open top (called the "operculum"), and with the remains of the slippery liquid on its rim still glistening though it is completely dried. The smaller two pitchers, a different breed of sarracenia, warm to a lovely red on top.

Please be aware that although I've used preservation methods that specifically help to keep the color, dried botanicals do typically fade eventually and may become more brittle over time. To keep them in their best condition, don't place them under sources of UV light (like sunlight or plant grow lights). Unfortunately because of import restrictions placed by most countries on the shipment of plant material, I don't ship these outside of the US.
