Some plants react to the sun much like humans do, “getting a tan”. It’s called sun stressing!

For this picture I kept one of Scylla’s “mouths” in the shadow (indirect light), so it shows its natural green colour, but I made sure that the other “mouth” enjoyed as much (direct) sun as possible.

The plant is not upset about this experiment at all. It keeps pushing “mouths” like crazy.

    They’re mostly located on the East coast and Northern Midwest US. They’re all over Canada. Most states have some carnivorous plants though. The one I really want to find in the wild is Darlingtonia californica the cobra lilly. It’s an absolutely gorgeous plant, but only found in Northern California and parts of Oregon.
