Alien Garden
Here’s a beautiful almost alien photo of redditor ohpumpkincoffee’s garden – in which all the plants are carnivorous!

I love both the Venus Fly trap and Pitcher Plants. They are interesting creatures, plants if anything.

I also recognize the Venus Fly Trap + Pitcher Plant, but I believe plant with the droplets at the ends of the strands on its stems is also a carnivorous plant (I just can`t remember the name of it).
