Pitcher plants do the same thing

They have these really unique looking flowers too

Then there's the pitcher plant that isn't really carnivorous, but relies on excrement...it's not so much a pitcher as a toilet: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nepenthes_lowii

Ah so that's why Victreebel is a poison type

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Victory bell is probably based off of highland pitchers (Nepenthes). Fun fact: In some parts of the world they're called "monkey cups". I don't know if the monkeys actually drink out of them or not but that's where the name came from lol.
