It was amazing to get to see the UC Davis Botanical Conservatory in person today! Their carnivorous plant section is seriously impressive, especially the tropical pitcher plants (Nepenthes). So many huge, pitchers hanging everywhere in the humid greenhouse, it felt like stepping into a jungle.
A special thanks to Ryan and John for the incredible tour – you guys made it even better with all the fun facts and behind-the-scenes info!
This first shot is mostly Nepenthes truncata, but there are tons of other species and hybrids mixed in.
If you’re into carnivores or just cool plants in general, definitely worth a visit if you’re near Davis. Guided tours are available by appointment, and self-guided is free during open hours.
Highly recommend!
Happy Growing
