Wax is made by bees that have never seen the light, but they have been nourished by light: Pollen is, so to speak, materialized light. And they have the ability to free the light they have ingested, making snow-white wax. It is really a big wonder. And then Man can collect this wax, make candles and—in the dark period of the year, towards Christmas—he can free the light again from the wax in the bee.

The pelican flower (Aristolochia grandiflora) is a deciduous vine with one of the world’s largest flowers that emits an odor that smells like rotting meat, which attracts flies. Flowers are heart shaped: 10–20 cm wide and have tails that are up to 60 cm long. The flower is green/white with purple/brown veins with the center of the flower being darker colored. The plant is native to the Caribbean and Central America, and has been introduced to Florida in the United States as an attractor of butterflies. Source.

There is a serious message behind this humorous sign (and no it’s not the part about violators being fed to the plants). Carnivorous plants are very sensitive to the oils in human skin and it will kill them, especially pitcher plants. There are many species of wild, native carnivorous plants in North America, so if you see them in the wild, look with your eyes, not with your hands.
