Real Wasp Catchers
These plants are smaller than most of the other Sarracenias, but the contrast in size to the others really make the other Sarracenias seem to be that much larger. How ever do not be fooled... they catch more than their share of wasp, beside adding more beautiful color to your collection of plants.
