A variety of carnivorous plant, the Sarracenia pitcher plant produces pitchers that attract and trap insects. There are eight species of Sarracenia, six of these produce tall trumpets of different colours, one produces short, wide vase shaped pitchers (S. purpurea) and one produces pitchers that resembles a parrot's beak (S. psittacina).
