What: Carnivorous plants at Vriksha nursery, 1 Ganga Apartments, Irla Railway Society, Vile Parle (W), call 9820704069 or view the Facebook page here, Rs 2,000 for a pitcher plant.
Why: The perfect anti-rose, this fierce bug-eating pitcher plant is the sharpest way to say you care. But with only 15 of its kind ordered in to the nursery every month, we suggest you get in on the action soon. Maybe you’ll catch a bite this season, and if you’re lucky, a swallow.
When: You need a lady(bug) killer.
