[WB-FLORAL] Weeping eyelet

0 Favorites ・ 1 Comment

this plant sports two big pointy and sturdy flower petals on each side of it's stem. When looked at from the side, the flower appears to mimic a closed eyelid, which is crying. The 'tears' emit light at night or in dark places.

Can grow up to 35 centimeters in size (14 inches) depending on it's habitat. This plant is not a very common find unless you know when and where to look! These plants are carnivorous in nature, luring in insects with the light of it's 'tear', which drips down from the inside of it's flower. It's sweet smelling aroma is similar to the scent of fruits, but can also smell like rotting flesh, to deter any bigger things from eating it. When an insect lands on the tear to feed on the nectar, the plant slowly but surely retracts the tear back in into it's leaves and closes shut. It does not reopen until the prey is completely digested. Once that is done the petals re-open and the cycle repeats.

changes color during the day to better photosynthesize.
