TERRARIUM


I saw these carnivorous plant terrariums on sale, at cut-throat prices at Takashimaya's Cold Storage. Some of the containers look familiar and they were planted with a number of Nepenthes cultivars (common name: Pitcher Plant) and mosses. The funny part is I recently thought of planting up some terrariums with Pitcher Plants and viola, here they were although they weren't done by me. Hmm, talk about deja vu!
