openings.
5. American Pitcher Plants (Sarrecenia spp.) - Chosen for their wide variety

delicate beauty, especially when besot with dew.
7. Butterworts (Pinguicula spp.) - Chosen for their most beautiful flowers.
8. Dew Pine (Drosophyllum lusitanicum) - Chosen for their graceful
bonsai-friendly form.
9. Pygmy Sundews (Drosera spp.) - Chosen for their size. They're just cute!
