Why You Should Visit

A summer exhibition of Nepenthes pitcher plants at the observation greenhouse in Suma Rikyu Park. See how these carnivorous plants trap insects in their pouch-shaped leaves, with pouches varying in shape, color and size by variety. Since it's an indoor greenhouse display, it works well on hot or rainy days too, and makes a fun summer-holiday nature topic for kids.
