I do not know this plant just got a photo of the limb hanging in my pathway, loved the pop it had in real and in photo.
Piranha Plant from Super Mario Bros. rendered in LEGO.
This is based off the Lowell Sphere. I've had this idea for a while but just got around to building the head. I used the pipe from an older Mario picture somewhere in my photostream.
I'm really not so good with plants and my first cactus died because of too much water.
But these tree little plants are resisting and they survived two moves.
So, why a succulent plant? Because it has the thorns. So, why not a rose? Because a rose is not resistant.
Thorns and resistance: two aspects of succulent plants that I love the most. They keep going on without cares and water and they can resist to the scorching heat.
In many times of my life, I felt like a succulent plant: I physically felt the thorns on my back against others and I felt the resistance to all bad things happened to me.

This is a cutting we got from my father not too long before he died. I didn't think it was going to survive, but this year it has taken off and is now starting to bloom. I didn't know what it was, but Barbol has identified (tentatively) as Plumeria (probably P. rubra). We can tell for sure once the blooms open.
Pitcher plant is a carnivorous wildflower. The pitcher-like leaves collect rainwater and excrete digestive chemicals. When insects attracted to the colored lip of the leaf walk into the structure, they become trapped by the downward pointing hairs, eventually drown, and are digested by bacterial and enzymatic action in the water solution. The northern pitcher plant then absorbs the resulting nutrients.
I took this in the middle of winter in the Conservatory. Its just what you need to help forget about the wind chills.
