Making these really sucked but mostly because of the teeth on the traps. If I do another I have some other ideas to try & would also vary the sizes of traps. Pretty good for my first stained glass 3D thing! Finally a carnivorous plant I can’t kill.

Fakemon Challenge #14 - PAINAPPLE (Poison/Grass) The Carnivorous pokemon
This pokemon is based in Pineapples, more specifically the Red Spanish Pineapple, and the enzyme Bromelain pineapples produce. This enzyme is the one responsible for our mouths to feel weird when eating pineapple, as the enzyme "digests" the outer protein layers on the tongue and palate, leaving them vulnerable to the highly acidic juices of the pineapple. This enzyme is often used as a meat tenderizer.

This pokemon, despite is colorful appearence, is a dangerous predator that only eats meat. Their saliva is extremely acidic and allows them to digest their preys whole, bones and all.
They know all the "acid" moves, likes a Acid, Acid Spray and Gastro Acid.
The long white needles in their hands working as claws are a reference to Raphides. Recently people has shared news of scientist finding this needle like structures in pineapples and believing they are the cause of pineapples hurting us when we eat, but this is not true as Raphides can be found in other fruits, like kiwis and grapes, but still I wanted to make the reference.

Flask-Shaped Pitcher Plant (Nepenthes ampullaria)
Family: Typical Pitcher Plant Family (Nepenthaceae)
IUCN Conservation Status: Least Concern
Most species of pitcher plants are carnivorous, using jug-like, fluid-filled traps that protrude from their leaves to capture small animals and digest their bodies, absorbing the nutrients released (particularly nitrogen, which is needed to produce chlorophyll and which is scarce in the soil around them due to intense competition with other plants) across the trap's inner walls. The Flask-Shaped Pitcher Plant, however, is unusual among its relatives in that it is seemingly essentially a herbivorous plant - found in damp, dense forests, it grows as a woody vine that creeps along the ground or through the lower branches of larger plants and uses its unusually short, wide pitchers to catch leaves that fall down from the trees above it, digesting them to make use of the nitrogen and other nutrients they contain. Widely distributed across much of Brunai, Indonesia, New Guinea, Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore and reportedly quite common in damp, humid environments throughout their range, members of this species are dioecious (meaning that each individual plant is either "male", producing pollen-producing flowers, or "female", producing pollen-receiving flowers that develop into seeds once pollinated,) and produce dense clusters of small, petal-less flowers relatively high in their "branches", typically far from their traps to avoid accidentally trapping pollinators. Once pollination has occurred, "female" flowers produce numerous tiny, lightweight, hair-like seeds which are carried away from their "mother" on the wind.

Plant of the Day
Friday 3 February 2023
This bench of carnivorous plants at Duthie Park was grown by the junior members of the Royal Horticultural Society of Aberdeen. These plants grown in acidic conditions and attract, trap and digest animals, mainly insects, for the nutrients they contain. The flowering plant is a Pinguicula species (butterwort) that is an insectivorous perennial producing rosettes of sticky, pale green leaves.
