minus-squarebatmaniam@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·6 个月前Victory bell is probably based off of highland pitchers (Nepenthes). Fun fact: In some parts of the world they’re called “monkey cups”. I don’t know if the monkeys actually drink out of them or not but that’s where the name came from lol.
