Sarracenia psittacina
Sarracenia psittacina, also called pitcher plant, is a small carnivorous plant with a broad, almost horizontal habit. The plant flowers very early in spring with large, fragrant, brown-red flowers, which are mainly fertilized by bees. Once fertilization is a fact, it is time to produce plenty of leaves again. The leaves here do not consist of erect, broad funnel-shaped beakers, but of oblique, horizontal beaker tubes with a parrot's head. Through the small opening in the head, the insect is lured within the spherical space. The wide horizontal tube then seems to be the right escape route, but it becomes narrower and smaller and the many hairs prevent a return. This sarracenia likes a spot in full sun
