Yellow unicorn-plant (Ibicella)

Yellow unicorn-plant

Yellow unicorn-plant is characterized by its unique sticky, glandular leaves and vibrant yellow, trumpet-shaped flowers. These unusual leaves trap insects, aiding its growth in nutrient-poor soils typically found in its native environment. This adaptation not only helps yellow unicorn-plant survive but also thrive by utilizing trapped insects as an alternative nutrient source.
