This gigantic plant entices sheep into the trap, and when they die, sucking out their nutrients. For the first 15 years of its existence it has bloomed.





The scientific name of this plant, "Puya chilensis." It grows in a greenhouse Royal Horticultural Society, which is located outside of London. The height of the plants with bright dangerous spikes up three and a half meters.
In his native Andean plant uses spikes to grab the sheep and other animals. Were trapped animals die of starvation, and the insidious plant sucks nutrients from their decomposing bodies.



In captivity, it is virtually puya blooms because of its unusual "diet." However, a British garden still managed to make his fastidious pet flourish, feeding it with liquid fertilizer.

The flowers of this plant are quite large, about five centimeters in diameter. The Royal Horticultural Society argue that every flower "enough nectar to water rights."
