Oregon Carnivorous Native Plant Eats Bugs!
The Darlingtonia Californica, also called the Cobra Lily, is native to California and Oregon. This plant lures insects with its sweet smell then traps them inside, digesting them into nitrogen, which it then reabsorbs. Darlingtonia State Natural Site off of Highway 101 is the only state park dedicated solely to one native species.
