The fact that carnivorous plants even exist is pretty fascinating. But the fact that more than half of the known species of carnivorous plants are native to North Carolina and can be found growing in the wild is absolutely incredible! The “just right” combination of sand, water, sunlight, and low nutrient soil found in many parts of the state creates the unique environment for these unusual plants to thrive, supplementing nutrients with insects.

This fun-to-knit design features Pitcher Plants and Venus Fly Traps growing in a cross section of soil exposing shallow and deep roots. Additional embroidery adds texture and dimension. Just for fun, insect shaped buttons bring the scene to life.
