PRECIOUS PLANTS

This year’s festival is celebrating our planet’s plant life. Check out some of the amazing rare plants at Kew…

Old Man Live Forever (Pelargonium cotyledonis)
This plant gets its name from its slow growth and ability to survive tricky conditions!

Green Pitcher Plant (Sarracenia oreophila)
A carnivorous plant, this sneaky species traps insects with its leaves and eats them. Yum!

Bloody Bellflower (Nesocodon mauritianus)
This rare species is named after its bell-shaped flowers and bright red nectar, which looks like drops of blood!
