Autumn At Winterbourne Botanic Garden In Birmingham
Carnivorous plants at Winterbourne Botanic Garden, the botanical garden of the University of Birmingham, located in Edgbaston, Birmingham, United Kingdom. Pitcher plants are several different carnivorous plants which have modified leaves known as pitfall traps—a prey-trapping mechanism featuring a deep cavity filled with digestive liquid. The traps of what are considered to be true pitcher plants are formed by specialized leaves. Set in 7 acres, it is notable as a rare surviving example of an early 20th century high status suburban ‘villa’ garden, inspired by the Arts and Crafts movement of the Edwardian period. Both Winterbourne Botanic Garden and Winterbourne House are owned by the University of Birmingham and are open to the public as a heritage attraction.
