What’s This Content for

In this section, we will tell the readers why and how the garden plants are used. A list of garden plants will be given and you are selected to explain briefly that why they are considered to be ornamental and how people often use them in their gardens.

We hope these creative contents are simple, focused, and specific. Highlighting characteristic traits of these plants.

Requirements

1.  Word Count: around 50 words (for Japanese and Korean, around 100 characters; for Chinese around 80 characters).
If the plant is very popular or versatile, it is OK to go slightly longer for this section. While if it is rarely used, a bit shorter is acceptable (but still please more than 30 words).

2. Focus on the Field: please focus on gardening and landscaping. Do not mention any related or unrelated information, which will appear in other sections.

  • General information, like original distribution, environments favored, hardiness zone, care tips, etc. are NOT suggested to be discussed in this section.

Examples

Carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus) [71 words]

_COMMON_NAME_ produces fragrant blooms with fluffy double petals. The flowering season lasts nearly the whole summer. Depending on the breeds, _COMMON_NAME_ comes from an array of different colors and different heights and branching habits. You can always find a proper breed to fit your need in the garden, from a specimen flower in your rock garden to an edging flower. It adapts well for potting and wildly used as a cut flower.

Palm Sedge (Carex phyllocephala) [50 words]

_COMMON_NAME_ is a deer resist plant prized for its evergreen foliage. Its leaves clustered in small whorls at the top part of its upright stems, resembling miniature palms. It is a perfect specimen plant or ground cover under the woodland garden and works well as a border in shade too.

Darlingtonia californica

Darlingtonia californica

Darlingtonia californica has several common names, including the California pitcher plant, cobra lily, and cobra plant. It is a member of the Sarracenia family, along with other types of North American pitcher plants. As the common names suggest, the distinctive feature of Darlingtonia californica is the appearance of its pitchers: a translucent hood over the top resembles a cobra’s head, and the forked leaf is like its tongue. Hoods may be red, green, or a combination of both colors. A fully-grown Darlingtonia californica can grow up to three feet tall.

This plant is native to the northwestern part of the United States, specifically the cold water bogs of coastal Oregon and northern California. Like other carnivorous plants, Darlingtonia californica grows in a nutrient poor environment and feeds on animals to provide vital nutrients (particularly nitrogen) that would not otherwise be available.

The tip of the hood of the pitcher has a protrusion that secretes an appealing honey-like nectar. Insects enter and have their fill, but leaving proves more difficult. Since the top of the hood has many translucent spots, insects mistake these for an exit point and try to fly up and out of the pitcher. Instead of escaping, they hit the hood and fall down into the pitcher. Once inside, they struggle to climb back up the slippery walls which are also covered with downward-pointing hairs. Given all these obstacles, the ensnared insects are generally unable to escape. The mechanism to capture insects in the pitchers is simple but remarkably effective, and pitchers are often full of partially digested insects. 

While other pitcher plants collect rainwater in their pitchers, Darlingtonia californica pitchers have hoods that cover their openings. The liquid that fills the pitchers is produced by the plant itself from water absorbed by the roots. 

Another unique feature of Darlingtonia californica is the symbiotic relationship it has with the bacteria and protozoa present inside the digestive liquid in its pitchers. There is a collection of microbes inside each pitcher that performs much of the hard work of digesting the prey that are captured. This is obviously very beneficial for the plant, as it does not need to expend the energy to break down the prey it has captured. At the same time, the microbes benefit from a steady supply of insects and a safe environment. 

For those hoping to keep Darlingtonia californica as a houseplant, they will need to ensure a very particular environment for this picky plant to thrive. Since it grows in cool to cold water, the roots should be kept cool and temperatures should never get too high. This plant will do best with high humidity in a sunny or partly shady location.

This plant naturally goes dormant in the winter as temperatures cool, and will stop growing from three to five months until they reemerge and flower in spring. And speaking of flowers, scientists still have not clearly identified how Darlingtonia californica is pollinated. The shape of the flowers suggest a specialized insect pollinator, but this has yet to be confirmed. 

Drosophyllum Lusitanicum

Drosophyllum Lusitanicum

Drosophyllum Lusitanicum or dewy pines are quite an exciting form of carnivorous plants. This plant is able to catch a large amount of prey through a more passive method compared to its distant cousin, the Venus flytrap. The dewy pines also live in a much different climate than most carnivorous plants. This plant is also increasing in rarity. The dewy pines are also popular as garden plants and potted plants, which has made it more of a cultivated plant now than a wild one.

The dewy pines attract and catch their prey in a very interesting and unique way. The way these plants collect insects is very effective, and they are able to entrap a great deal of insects compared to other carnivorous plants. The leaves of the dewy pines produced tiny beads that resemble a red-colored dew. These emit a very sweet smell similar to honey that is highly irresistible to insects. When an insect comes into contact with the dew-like substance, it sticks to the insect and allows it to roll down into more of the secretion. This attaches to the body of the insect and doesn’t allow them to breathe, which quickly kills them. The dewy pines also secrete digestive chemicals that break down the body of their prey and will enable them to be absorbed for their nutrients by the plant.

Most carnivorous plants prefer a very wet climate. Many plants that catch their own live food grow best in swampy regions or very close to water. This may be because insects thrive in humid or wet areas, which are the primary prey of carnivorous plants. However, the dewy pines have developed to grow in a much different sort of area than any other form of carnivorous plant. The dewy pines native location is very dry for most of the year. These carnivorous plants are found mainly in the western Iberian Peninsula as well as the northwestern area of Morocco, which are both known for long dry seasons. Yet, the dewy pines are still able to survive in a climate where most other carnivorous plants would die out. 

Even though the dewy pines are able to grow in an area where most plants and particularly carnivorous plants, could not grow, this plant is still a very sensitive species. In fact, due to human interference in the plant’s native area, the dewy pines are becoming rarer and rarer every year. Even just a slight amount of influence from the outside source of industrialization and other man-made interference can make this plant have difficulty growing successfully. One of the reasons dewy pines thrive in such a dry landscape is their ability to outlast other plants that can’t live through the dry seasons. When farming and fire suppression allow other plants to grow more successfully in the area, they efficiently suppress the dewy pines.

Like the Venus flytrap, potting and cultivating dewy pines has become more popular over time. Many find carnivorous plants very interesting and love adding them to their potted or garden plants collection. Unfortunately, this can add to the declining population of these plants in the wild.

Nepenthes mirabilis

Nepenthes mirabilis

Nepenthes mirabilis (common names include monkey cups, tropical pitcher plant, and common swamp pitcher plant) is a carnivorous plant native to Southeast Asia. Nepenthes mirabilis is the most widely distributed of all Nepenthes species, and can be found in many countries including China and Australia. Pitcher plants are the best-known type of carnivorous plant after the Venus flytrap. Nepenthes and Sarracenia are the two families of pitcher plants.  

The pitchers of Nepenthes mirabilis are actually a modified leaf that is adapted to a cup-like shape that holds a reservoir of digestive fluid containing enzymes that break down organic matter. Of all the methods that carnivorous plants use to trap prey, the pitcher is the most simple and passive. 

Nepenthes mirabilis uses its pitchers to attract and trap its prey, which generally consists of crawling or flying insects like ants, flies, and wasps. The insects are attracted to the pitchers by their bright colors and nectar. Once insects land on the slippery rim of the pitcher, they slide down into the trap into the liquid collected there. A waxy substance coating the inside of the pitcher keeps insects from being able to crawl back out. Once submerged, the insect is unlikely to be able to escape and soon drowns. 

Nepenthes mirabilis grows in environments where nutrients are hard to come by, which is why they evolved to supplement their diet with living organisms. After the prey is broken down by the enzymes produced inside the pitcher, the plant can access the available essential mineral nutrients, especially nitrogen and phosphorus. 

Although it mainly traps insects, there have been cases where a Nepenthes mirabilis captured some larger prey. Since spiders and lizards eat the same types of insects that are attracted to the pitchers, they can often be found spending time around a pitcher plant. They can also easily slip into the digestive liquid and become food for the plant as well. On the other hand, a certain species of tree frog has actually been found living inside the pitchers of Nepenthes mirabilis and feeding on the insects that appear there. It is thought that the frog is not damaged by the digestive liquid because it is covered in a slimy coating that protects it. 

Another amazing fact about Nepenthes mirabilis (and other Nepenthes species) is that it actually produces two different types of pitchers. The upper pitchers grow on the climbing stems and are adapted to capture flying insects. Meanwhile the lower pitchers grow near or on the ground, and include ladders or wings that crawling insects can use to access the pitchers. Younger plants may have only lower pitchers, with upper pitchers developing as the Nepenthes matures. The two types of pitchers usually look so different that it seems like they shouldn’t even be on the same plant!  

Compared to other varieties of pitcher plant, Nepenthes mirabilis has thin, papery leaves that are suited to a humid environment similar to the hot and moist areas where they grow wild. For those wanting to raise Nepenthes mirabilis as a houseplant, the most important element is to provide plenty of bright, indirect sunlight and high humidity. It may be useful to grow Nepenthes mirabilis inside a terrarium in order to provide it with enough moisture. 

Utricularia vulgaris

Utricularia vulgaris

Utricularia vulgaris (Common bladderwort) is a variety of aquatic carnivorous plant distinctive for its multiple underwater “bladders,” which it uses to capture its prey. Common bladderwort is just one of around 220 species of bladderwort that are found in fresh water and wet soil around the world. 

Unlike some of bladderworts’ more famous carnivorous plant cousins, Utricularia vulgaris hunts below the surface of the water so its activity is more difficult to observe. Even if you are able to see their bladders clearly, their prey is generally too small to be visible without magnification. This is not the best choice for people looking to observe the excitement of watching a carnivorous plant devouring an animal. Regardless, bladderworts have beautiful flowers and attractive foliage, and their unique way of capturing small invertebrates to consume is fascinating and worthy of more attention. 

Common bladderwort does not get all of its nutrients from eating animals. It has a root system that provides some nutrients, but it also supplements its diet by consuming tiny aquatic organisms such as copepods and nematodes. The mechanism it uses to catch prey starts with the small bladders which give the plant its name. The opening of each little pouch is surrounded by sensitive trigger hairs that cause the bladder to quickly open when they come in contact with a passing organism. The rapid speed of the trap opening causes the surrounding water and any creatures in that water to flow into the bladder, where they are then trapped. 

Utricularia vulgaris is one of the fastest-moving plants in the world, as their bladders are able to capture prey in less than a millisecond. Once inside, the digestive juices break down the ensnared organisms to make their nutrients available for the bladderwort to use. 

Remarkably, the bladderwort’s bladders do double-duty beyond simply catching prey. They also serve to keep the plant buoyant by filling with air while the plant is in its active blooming season. Then, when it is time for the bladderwort to go dormant in the winter, the bladders fill with water so the plant can sink below the water’s surface. 

Because of its relatively unremarkable appearance, it can be difficult to identify Utricularia vulgaris in the wild even though it is common in many places. The most distinctive feature is the Common bladderwort’s yellow flowers that resemble snapdragons or small orchid blooms, which emerge from stems that are generally reddish-green. Checking below the surface of the water, it is easy to see the many small bladders clinging onto the root system.  

Utricularia vulgaris makes a great addition to a pond or other water feature. Its flowers and foliage are attractive, and the bladders help to reduce the number of mosquito larvae present in the water. However, depending on conditions, bladderwort can be somewhat aggressive and crowd out other plants. For that reason, it is best to grow it in locations where it is already an established and non-invasive species.  

Brocchinia Reducta

Brocchinia Reducta

Brocchinia reducta is a type of carnivorous bromeliad that grows in nutrient-poor soil. Interestingly, this plant adapts to many environments, including rocks where the Brocchinia uses its roots as an anchor. Brocchinia reducta is a terrestrial plant and does not have a stem. The young plantlets and leaves grow directly from the roots up. Brocchinia reducta usually grows around 4 to 12 inches, though some can grow larger.

There are two other species of tank bromeliads that are carnivorous: Brocchinia hectiodies and Catopsis berteroniana.

Brocchinia reducta, like other bromeliads, uses overlapped leaves to form a tight, water-storing cup. The leaves around Brocchinia reducta’s cup are usually colored green or yellow and coated with waxy, loose scales. If Brocchinia reducta is grown in full light, the leaves will be tall and upright with yellow coloring. If conditions are not ideal, the leaves will grow floppy and green. The tallest Broccinia reducta plants, predictably, grow in the summer.

In addition, Brocchinia reducta leaves reflect ultraviolet light. Many insects are drawn to this ultraviolet light (reflected by numerous flowers as well). In addition, the water inside the cup emits a pleasant, sweet odor to attract ants and similar insects. 

The plant absorbs nutrients through the outer cell wall. This wall is covered in tiny appendages called trichomes, which transport molecules. The plant also uses bacteria to decompose insects before absorbing those nutrients. Some theories once thought the Brocchinia reducta secreted a specific enzyme to decompose insects. However, this has not been proven by modern techniques. When insects land on Brocchinia reducta, they slip from the loose scales into the water-filled cup where they eventually drown.

While Brocchinia reducta preys on small instincts, the tube acts as a habitat for certain animal species, such as the bromeliad tree frog, flatworms, snails, crabs, and salamanders. Some of those animals spend their whole lives inside the tube. Certain animals will also feed on the Brocchinia reducta, such as the bromeliad weevil, known as the “Evil Weevil” to horticulture enthusiasts.

Bromeliads like Brocchinia reducta serve as a small ecosystem. Debris and leaves fall into the tub and help single-celled organisms and algae. These organisms then feed insect larvae and mosquitoes.

Brocchinia reducta leaves are lined with thin red veins that are very distinctive looking. The flowers are relatively small and rise on tall spires over the plant’s tube.

Brocchinia reducta is native to several South American countries, including Brazil, Colombia, Guyana, and Venezuela. In their natural habitat, Brocchinia mainly grows in sandy or swampy sites. In addition, the plant grows in large numbers on the tepui summits and in the shrubby lowlands.

Brocchinia reducta is a hardy plant, but it still requires certain tropical conditions to grow. This includes high humidity, plenty of sunlight, acidic soil, moist conditions, and warm temperatures above freezing. In cultivation, Brocchinia reducta prefers well-draining and loose soil. However, it is quite a unique plant to find in a carnivorous plant collection.

Byblis Liniflora

Byblis Liniflora

Byblis Liniflora is known by the colorful name the rainbow plant because of the beautiful colors that reflect off of this plant when the sunlight hits it. Byblis was actually the name of a goddess who was turned into a fountain which is where this plant initially got its name, relating the droplet-type secretions on the plant to the tears of this goddess. This plant is loved by many for not only its interesting carnivorous qualities but also due to its beautiful flowers. This plant is native only to one area and lives only as an annual naturally due to its need for the wet season. The rainbow plant functions similarly to other carnivorous plants that use secretions but also have their own relationship with specific bugs who help them trap other smaller insects. 

Paste as plain text

The rainbow plant has a large number of clear secretions that will give a prismatic effect when hit by the sun, creating a beautiful rainbow. This plant is gorgeous not only from its rainbow effect but also from the desirable flowers. The attractive qualities of the rainbow plant are why it was named after one of the most beautiful goddesses in mythology, as well as her story of crying enough to turn into a fountain or spring.  

This plant is native only to a northern area of Australia. In its natural habitat, this plant is an annual type due to its inability to survive during the dry season of the year in this area. When kept as a potted plant or in a garden, the rainbow plant can actually act as a perennial if kept in a moist atmosphere throughout the year. This plant is desirable as a potted plant and garden plant because carnivorous plants are fascinating to gardeners. The rainbow plant is even more attractive to keep at home because of its beautiful qualities. This makes it hard to resist as a cultivated plant-primarily due to its perennial qualities when kept in a pot. 

There are many carnivorous plants that use secretions to attract, catch, and digest prey. The rainbow plant is covered in a dew-like substance on its leaves and stems. These droplets are actually similar to glue. These secretions shine brightly in the sunlight and attract insects to them. When these insects touch the secretions, they are stuck to the plant almost every time. Once the insect is attached to the plant, the glue may cause the prey to suffocate, killing them. Insects that aren’t adequately suffocated will still be unable to escape and eventually will die from struggling trying to get away. The rainbow plant will now release digestive enzymes that break down the body of the insect and allow it to be absorbed for its nutrients into the plant. The rainbow plant is also known to possibly have a relationship with bugs that work as assassins. These bugs would be eating the insects trapped by the rainbow plant’s glue-like secretions, and once the assassin bugs defecate, the rainbow plant is able to absorb the nutrients this way instead of directly breaking down caught insects.

Dionaea Muscipula

Dionaea Muscipula

The dionaea muscipula is better known as the Venus flytrap. This is one of the more well-known carnivorous plants. The Venus flytrap is known for eating more than just flies, however. Venus flytraps no longer only grow in the areas they are native. The way a venus flytrap catches its prey is one of the most exciting things about it. 

Like most carnivorous plants we see today, the Venus flytrap evolved from simple carnivorous plants that existed over 65 million years ago. This plant evolved from catching small, even microscopic prey to catching larger insects as the need for more nutrients grew. The behavior of the venus flytraps contradicts the belief that plants are passive creatures due to how it acts almost as an animal would, catching its own fresh food and living off of more than sunlight, water, and soil. The Venus flytrap is now even a popular house plant that many keep in a pot. It’s highly desirable for its interesting behavior and appearance.  

The diet of the venus flytrap extends beyond flies. This plant has been known to trap not only flies but also grasshoppers, ants, beetles, spiders, almost any flying insect that will fit in its trap, and even small frogs have been found to fall victim to the Venus flytrap. About any living thing that is small enough to get stuck in their trap will be devoured and digested by the Venus flytrap. Actually, Venus flytraps can realistically live without trapping any animals, but they thrive with the nutrients they gain from their prey. The nutrients this plant particularly needs that it gets from prey typically are nitrogen and phosphorus, which are much easier to get from live animals. These nutrients are commonly found in the area where Venus flytraps are native, which is what caused them to evolve to trap, kill, and digest live food.

The Venus flytrap is known to be native only to the areas of North Carolina and South Carolina, particularly on the coastal plain of these. Now venus flytraps are sold commonly as house plants and can be found almost anywhere in the world. People love the venus flytrap for its attractive appearance and colors and, of course, for its carnivorous appetite. Many find them to be interesting plants to keep and also an excellent way to get rid of flying pests in the house. The Venus flytrap is the most common carnivorous plant in the world. 

Paste as plain text

One of the more interesting features of the Venus flytrap is how it catches its prey. The leaves inside of the trap itself produce a sweet-smelling nectar that attracts many different creatures but is almost irresistible to insects. The prey will land on the sticky nectar, and usually, even before the trap closes, the stickiness is enough to slow down the bug from getting away. It takes less than a second for the catch to close entirely and prevent the animal from escaping.

Sarracenia Flava

Sarracenia Flava

Sarracenia flava is one of the grandest species of carnivorous plants. Also referred to as the yellow pitcher plant, the Sarracenia flava is a slender and tall trumpet that can grow over a meter tall, though most only reach 50 cm.

Sarracenia traps insects and other small prey without moving parts, like the Venus flytrap. Most Sarracenia flava use waxy deposits to trap insects by their feet and scent to attract their prey. Gravity also helps – some insects simply fall into the pitcher. The insect cannot maintain its footing on the slippery substance covering the pitcher walls. Most insects are unable to get out of the pitcher. However, some larger wasps have been known to escape, eating their way through the walls of the pitcher.

The pitcher’s mouth is circled by an outward-rolled tip, dipping at the front like a spout. This is known as a peristome. The mouth is studded with nectar glands, producing sugars and conine, which intoxicates the prey. The upper regions of the pitcher are dotted with stiff hairs, which guide insects into the pitcher tube. The top part of the pitcher is bright-colored with anthocyanin patterns, which also attract the insect.

The column that joins the pitcher to the lid is tall, curving back at the edges. 

The Sarracenia flava lid or leaf is large and either flared or flat, depending on the time of year. The front of the lid has a coiled tip that protrudes into the air. The lid prevents rain from getting into the pitcher and diluting the secretions.

Interestingly, Sarracenia flava flowers can smell like strong cat urine. So, if you are thinking about bringing a Sarracenia flava into your home, you may want to think twice.

Sarracenia flava pitchers mostly grow at the beginning of the year. During the colder months, Sarracenia flava produces sword-shaped flat leaves called phyllodia, which allow the plant to photosynthesize when there are fewer bugs to hunt.

The yellow pitcher plant is one of the easiest carnivorous plants to cultivate, making it popular with many horticulturists.

Sarracenia flava is found in many places across the New World, including several US states such as Alabama, Georgia, Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina.

There are seven different Sarracenia flava varieties, some rarer than others. These include:

1) Sarracenia flava var. Flava

Prominent purple-red pigment on the pitcher’s throat with red venation. Mostly found in the Atlantic coastal plain.

2) Sarracenia flava var. atropurpurea (Bull) Bell

The lid and pitcher tube are deep red. The pitcher interior is pale tan.

3) Sarracenia flava var maxima Bull ex Mast.

Green pitchers with no red coloration or venation around the throat. Relatively uncommon throughout North America

4) Sarracenia flava var. ornata Bull ex Mast.

Deep red or purple pigmentation and very strong red venation through the pitcher and lid. Frequently found in the North and South Carolina coastal plain.

5) Sarracenia flava var. rugelii (Shuttlew. ex A.DC.) Mast.

Expanded pitcher opening and larger lid than other Sarracenia. Deep red pitcher throat and no significant venation. Found in southern Georgia and northern Florida.

6) Sarracenia flava L. var. cuprea Schnell, var. Nov.

Predominantly copper-colored lid and pitcher.

7) Sarracenia flava var. rubricorpora Schnell

This plant has a red pitch and yellow or green lid with moderate venation. Only found in the Florida panhandle.
