First, check out the pictures of these plants below, you will not believe how much these things look like a penis! If you can keep a straight face after seeing these, you are more mature than me. Apparently, the women in Cambodia, where the Nepenthes holdenii grows naturally, find it funny and are grabbing the plants and taking pictures with them. The Cambodian government, however, is now telling people to stop playing with these plants because it has made them endangered!
This carnivore plant is called Nepenthes Holdenii and grows in western Cambodia, about 600-800 meters above sea level.

They use a passive trap to catch bugs. The top edge of the plant, known as peristome, segregates the nectar that attracts insects to this deadly trap. 😮😬 pic.twitter.com/eadkSLvQnH
