Garden Plants – Pitchers and Anthuriums
Some plants back in my garden.

Green & White Anthurium Plant

Close up shot of the green anthurium, my all time favorite. I’m not sure if this plant is a hybrid of some sort, because the flowers are in white and green color. There were some red anthurium plants beside them too, but the red ones are not as “photogenic”.

Commonly known as Pitcher Plants or Nepenthes, its name originated from Old Greek, meaning “soothing grief”.

The Pitcher Plant is a “member” of the Carnivorous Plants group that feed on insects. It has a pitfall trap which is filled with sweet nectar to lure insects e.g. flies, moths, beetles, or ants into its trap.

Another shot of the plant.
Have a great weekend!
