Just as there are animals that are carnivorous ( dogs, among many) and herbivorous, Horses, cows_ - there are plants that evolved to be meat-eating in their survival plan. They are always rare.

Why cannot other plants survive near carnivorous plants?

Non-carnivorous plants can live near carnivorous one. Carnivorous plants don't eat other plants or anything like that. What you might be referring to is the fact that carnivorous plants tend to grow in certain environments that many other plants couldn't survive in. Specifically, they grow in areas with soils that have very little nutrients. Carnivorous plants can live there because they can get the nutrients they need from their prey rather than from the soil. There are other plants that are adapted to those types of ecosystems is other ways (non-carnivorous ways), and those plants can live alongside carnivorous plants. Most plants can't live in those environments, though.


Why do carnivorous plants usually have their flowers on a long stalk?

Carnivorous plants must produce seeds like most plants. However, pollinating insects would be eaten by the plants if their flowers were close to the ground. To prevent this, several carnivorous plants have low-growing traps and high flowers. Cephalotus, the Australian pitcher plant, is a wonderful example. Although its ground-hugging traps are only one or two inches tall, the flower stalks can be in excess of three feet!-Andrew D.
