This is a video of Damian from California Carnivores pouring out a hybrid Nepenthes pitcher plant (Nepenthes truncata x Nepenthes lowii) that caught and digested a small rodent, likely a mouse. In the wilds of Borneo, Nepenthes lowii produces a substance that attracts tree shrews, which come and eat the

Because occasionally drunken cheeseburger-eating prayers do get answered, this is the $20 David Hasselhoff Chia Pet available for pre-order from Entertainment Earth (presumably among other places).

This is a video from the Liceu Opera House in Barcelona, Spain, which recently reopened and held a concert for 2,292 potted plants. That’s, uh, that’s something. I bet the plants are extra happy though because I think I read somewhere that it’s good to play music for your plants.
