Cobra Lily (Darlingtonia Californica)

Light enters the hood of Darlingtonia Californica through the translucent windows and the fly becomes confused and cannot find the exit. The spiral trap has rows of downward pointing hairs making the descent one way. Likes a bright, cool position away from hot summer temperatures and central heating in the winter. Does well outside in a sheltered position. See the care guide for full details.
