- Venus flytrap
The Venus flytrap -Dionaea muscipula- is the most famous carnivorous plant in the world, because it has unique traps with which it traps its prey, mostly insects and arachnids, although as we can see, also amphibians and small reptiles. These are structures located on the leaves that are covered on the inside by extremely thin sensitive fibers. When the victim is detected, the trap closes in an instant
- Giant ring: the corpse flower
The giant hoop -Amorphophallus titanum- is a plant the size of a man, whose stem is born a large flower that gives off a fetid smell of rotten meat and is burgundy color, hence its name. The function of this essence is to attract a series of pollinating insects. It seems taken from a science fiction story
Dragon blood tree
The dragon blood tree - Dracaena cinnabari - is a plant from the Socotra archipelago. His image takes us to a fantastic and spectacular world. It is a structure in the shape of an umbrella, whose resin, called dragon's blood, has a red coloration and has been used in medicine for many years.Always alive or plant of the resurrection
The ever-living or resurrection plant -Selaginella lepidophylla- is also called the rose of Jericho. Its habitat is the desert of Chihuahua and therefore, has developed an interesting adaptation: this plant has the ability to survive the desiccation, caused by such a torrid climate. To do this, it curls on itself and only reopens when there is a hydration path (which can be years)
- Mimosa sensitive or moriviví
Sensitive mimosa or moriviví - Pimos mimosa - is a very shy plant. Its fundamental property is that its leaves are closed before external contact, to reopen in minutes. It comes from South America and Central America, but has spread to other regions of the world and is now considered pantropical by experts.
