(Venus flytrap)

Renowned for its insect-trapping leaves, Venus flytrap is a small, insectivorous perennial native to moist sandy habitats near the Carolina coast.

Each plant forms a neat rosette of leaves with broad winged stems and folding clam-like blades. The traps are yellowish to medium green on the outside and have reddish nectar glands on the inside edged with slender, hair-like snares. When disturbed by visiting insects, the traps snap shut and hairs fold over one another like bars. Trapped insects...

Named for its sawtooth-edged, insect-trapping leaves, 'Jaws' is a cultivar of Venus flytrap, a small, insectivorous perennial from moist sandy habitats near the Carolina coast.

Each plant forms a neat rosette of leaves with broad winged stems and folding clam-like blades. The jagged edges of the traps resemble shark jaws.

(Cycad, Virgin Palm)

Virgin palm is a very slow-growing cycad with stiff, fern-like leaves radiating outward from a central, trunk-like stem. A native of southeastern Mexico, this cone-bearing plant is not a real palm, but is more ancient: growing around the time of the dinosaurs. Its fronds are covered with stiff, haired or smooth bluish green or dark green leaflets held perpendicularly to the leaf stem, which is lighter green. As the plant gets older and grows a clump of taller trunk-stems, the leaf fronds are held...

Pointy, plastic-like leaves stiff, sharp-tipped leaflets radiate outward and upward from a central, trunk-like stem on the golden dioon. Native to and endangered in the Mexican state of Chiapas, this cone-bearing plant is neither a fern nor palm, but is a more ancient cycad that existed around the time of the dinosaurs. It grows slowly, eventually developing an upright or leaning trunk-like stem.

New fronds emerge in the heat of summer. They arise from the growing tip on the stem, unfurling with...

(Gum Palm, Spiny Dioon)

The gum palm is a slow growing cycad with stiff, fern-like leaves radiating outwards from a central, trunk-like stem. A native of southern Mexico, this cone-bearing plant is not a real palm, but is more ancient: recorded in fossilized rock along with dinosaur bones. Its fronds are covered with smooth, stiff, dark green leaflets held almost perpendicular to the leaf stem, and have occasional little spines. The fronds are held upright but gracefully curve or droop to make a lovely silhouette. Male...

(Disocactus)

This is the genus of famous tropical orchid cacti, which contains 16 species and countless hybrids. It is a tropical plant that originates in the dappled light of Central American rain forests. These are epiphytic cacti, which means they don’t need to be in soil to grow.They absorb moisture from the humid air and tropical rains through their air roots used to climb tree trunks. Fine feeder roots seek decaying organic matter collected in the crotches of trees or pockets between rocks. In these places...
