Darlingtonia Californica, commonly known as the California pitcher plant or cobra lily, has several synonyms depending on its geographic location and taxonomy. It is also referred to as the mountain cobra plant, the California pitcher, and the cobra plant. The plant, which is native to Northern California and Southern Oregon, belongs to the Sarraceniaceae family and is closely related to other carnivorous plants like the Venus flytrap. Its distinctive feature is its tubular-shaped trap that lures insects with a combination of color and aroma, then captures and digests them. Despite its fearsome-sounding name, the cobra lily remains a unique and fascinating plant for gardeners, botanists, and nature enthusiasts alike.
