Cobra Plant

The Darlingtonia Californica, also called the Cobra Plant, California Pitcher plant, or Cobra Lily, is a carnivorous plant, and a particularly cruel one at that!
It forces its prey into it's trap, then carefully hides the tiny exit hole from the trapped insects by curling it underneath and offering multiple translucent false exits.
Upon trying many times to leave via the false exits, the insect will tire and fall down into the trap, to be digested.
Nasty.
This one belongs to my friend Bill and I'm not sure what he feeds it on in winter nut its looking very healthy.
