The Pollination display at The Calyx has now finished and the horticulturalists at the Royal Botanic Garden Sydney are installing the next display!
From October, you will be able to feast your eyes and sink your teeth into a free floral display on carnivorous plants at Plants with Bite.

Plants with Bite
The fourth floral display to hit The Calyx, Plants with Bite, will feature the beautiful but deadly carnivorous plants of the world including the snapping “Venus Fly Trap”, “Pitcher Plants” waiting to drown their prey and the dainty Drosera waiting to grab a bite to eat with ‘sticky fingers’.

There will be educational and spooky ‘feeding days’ for kids, events to tantalise all your senses and of course, the creepy and cunning, carnivorous plants that will satisfy your hunger for learning about the floral food chain.
