In Kalimpong orchid centre, there are many varieties of orchids are kept.
In that lot there are those orchids also which are insectivorous or carnivorous. There was a dangerous story written by Satyajit Ray on a Septopus kept in a Zoologist's house.
So seeing the orchids they looked good but the ones which are carnivorous are dangerous.

Thanks Adam for the comments. Yes I saw them. the carnivorous ones are kept in cages. As there appetite is low they feed on bees, frogs, insects. One example is the pitcher plant, called nepenthes khasiana.
