Carnivorous Plants, or CP's for short are plants that derrive their nutrients from insects primarilly. These plants can be found all over the world from the coldest to the warmest of climates, including Canada. Best known of these would be the venus flytrap. But there are several other plants including Albany Pitcher Plant (Cephalotus), American Pitcher Plants (Sarracenia), Asian or Tropical Pitcher Plant (Nepenthes), Bladderworts (Ultricularia), Butterworts (Pinguicula), Sundews (Drosera), and the beloved Venus Flytrap (Dionaea) to name a few. There are other less common ones like the Rainbow plant (Byblis), Dewy Pine (Drosophyllum), Waterwheel Plant(Aldrovanda), Corkscrew Plant (Genlisea), Devil's Claw (Ibicella), and Roridula aswell as others.
