White Trumpet Pitcher Plants with Bee Inside

Brilliant series, congratulations for having it featured on the blog! And what an interesting blog too!

Congratulations Misako, this spotting is featured in the Project Noah blog today! http://blog.projectnoah.org/post/30038358590/carnivorous-plants

Thank you so much Craig!! I have taken down some notes and will be doing some research to see if I can find the species you mentioned. :-D

Always worth a try, the ones I've grown have certainly withstood some freezing. Sarracenia purpurea should do well without protection and subsp. venosa is a very fine plant. Darlingtonia would be worth a go too, they're pretty hardy.

Craig, I am thinking that I could probably grow the larger and more hardier types if I kept them potted, and brought them inside before first frost. They are a wonderfully amazing plant, and quite unique in their shape, coloration and overall design. I would love to see if I could keep several of these alive as "show pieces" for the deck during the growing season. I grow a few different semi tropical plants this way, now, and It would nice to add something a little more unique.

Ooo, that is cold! They grow well here outside London but we're in 8. Wikipedia says they can grow in 6 with 'careful winter protection'

6...

What USDA hardiness zone are you in Brandon?

Simply Gorgeous!! I wish I could grow those here!!!

Truly amazing video and lovely plants!

A terrible drama, but fabulous photos, especially the first.

Amazing video!

Beautiful photos. The bees are honey bees (Apis mellifera) if you were wondering.

Wow that bee was truly helpless. Great way to show us all what nature is capable of! :)
