THIS IS A PITCHER LANT, A LOVELY VARIETY. I COULD NOT GET A CLEARER SHOT AS THIS WAS JUST ABOUT 7 INCHES FROM THE GROUND. IT IS COLORED DARKELY. THANKS TO THOSE WHO VIEW, COMMENT AND FAVE MY PHOTO. THIS WILL BE HIGHLY APPRECIATED. WHEN AN INSECT FALLS INTO THE PITCHER, IT CANNOT GET OUT AND THE PLANT WILL JUST DEVOUR THE FOOS
The artichoke is a perennial in the thistle group of the sunflower family and is believed to be a native of the Mediterranean and the Canary Islands. The "vegetable" that we eat is actually the plant's flower bud. When allowed to flower, the blossoms measure up to seven inches in diameter and are a beautiful violet-blue color.

These meat-eating pitcher plants belong to two large families of monocots—the Nepenthaceae (Old World) and Sarraceniaceae (New World).
The pitchers under the Old World clan live high above a tree. Because there is not much of a food source up there, the plant resorts to find an alternative source of nutrients. What it does is to fold the ends of its leaves like a cup and concocts nectar juices and waits daintily for its helpless victims.

Tiny flowers shot in London's Kew Gardens... I just love the contrast between the vibrant reds and the range of greens...
Another plant from the Royal Botanic Gardens' hothouse. The plant has several names including Red Hot Cattail, Chenille Plant, Strawberry Firetails amongst others.
The plant is dioecious, and therefore there are distinct male and female members of the species. The female plant bears pistillate flowers which range in color from purple to bright red, and grow in clusters along catkins. This feature is the primary reason the plant bears the nickname “red-hot cat tail”. The pistillates will grow all year long as long as the temperatures are favorable.
he plant originated in Oceania, but has become naturalized to multiple countries in North America, including the United States, Mexico, and Belize. It can grow to be six to twelve feet (1.8-3.7 meters) tall, and have a spread of three to six feet (0.9-1.8 meters). The plant has become somewhat domesticated, due to the nature and color of its flowers. It can be grown from seeds as well as from cuttings. It can be kept either as an outdoor plant or as a houseplant. However, care should be taken in growing it, as all parts of the plant are poisonous if ingested by animals.
