The "lovely" Nepenthes Sumagaya
Medium: Glass, Oil Paint
Process: Flame worked Glass
Inspiration: I have been drawn to carniverous plants ever since a trip to England, where I had noticed the flies were quite large
The Pitcher plant, Nepenthes Sumagaya, is a tropical plant native to the Philippines. It only grown near Mount Sumagaya in north-central Mindanao. It was originally named Nepenthes Amabilis, meaning 'Lovely'. However, this name was already used for a manmade hybrid, thus the renaming to Nepenthes Sumagaya.
