Kew Pocketbooks: Carnivorous Plants

Kew Gardens have developed a unique series of pocketbooks that gives you an insight into the diverse and beautiful world of all kinds of plants and fungi. 

Carnivorous Plants showcases 40 botanical paintings of these deadly beauties. Carnivorous plants are deadly beauties that trap, kill and consume everything from insects, spiders and crustaceans to lizards and mice, luring their prey in with specialised hairs, sweet nectar, bright colours, or the convenience of a toilet. Forty botanical pairings of this extraordinary group are showcased here, including the famous Venus flytrap, as well as pitcher plants and sundews.
