RE: Photography (and a short ecology lesson): the common butterwort (Pinguicula vulgaris), a subalpine plant that eats insects to get nitrogen

in #nature7 years ago

Yeah, they are found in pretty much all of Europe, so I'm sure you can find it if you take a closer look at big in mountainous areas. The fat plant is a cool name for it! I guess the leaves can look pretty fat, but the flower stem is actually very thin compared to most other plants.

I will be looking for it the next time I go on a hike :) Thanks for the tip!
