CARNIVOROUS PLANTS: Carnivorous plants have the most bizarre adaptations to low-nutrient environments. These plants obtain some nutrients by trapping and digesting various invertebrates. Because insects are one of the most common prey items for most carnivorous plants, they are sometimes called insectivorous plants. It is not surprising that the most common habitat for these plants is in bogs and fens, where nutrient concentrations are low but water and sunshine seasonally abundant. As many as thirteen species of carnivorous plants have been found in a single bog (Folkerts, 1982). Most plants absorb nitrogen from the soil through their roots. But carnivorous plants absorb nitrogen from their animal prey through their leaves specially modified as traps. Scarlet Belle Pitcher Plant. Sarracenia x 'Scarlet Belle' This naturally occurring cross of the white-top S. leucophylla and the parrot-pitcher, S. psittacina has rapidly become one of the most favorite pitcher plants. This fast growing selection makes a 15" wide clump of horizontal white with red veined parrot-head pitchers. Each clump can form over 100 pitchers! This a great carnivorous plant.
