Another fun fact is the Yellow Trumpet pitcher plant’s (sarracenia flava) flowers smell like cat pee.

Then there’s the pitcher plant that isn’t really carnivorous, but relies on excrement…it’s not so much a pitcher as a toilet: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nepenthes_lowii

Victory bell is probably based off of highland pitchers (Nepenthes). Fun fact: In some parts of the world they’re called “monkey cups”. I don’t know if the monkeys actually drink out of them or not but that’s where the name came from lol.
