People tend to have a really hard time understanding evolution, and attribute human characteristics to it.
I mean if you kill your pollinators you're not going to reproduce, so that makes sense the genes survived.
Also, the energy to make that flower is an enormous strain on the plant. Usually, growing that flower causes most or all of the carnivorous leaves to die, and therefore often growing that flower spells the death of the plant.
Pitcher plants do the same thing

They have these really unique looking flowers too

Then there's the pitcher plant that isn't really carnivorous, but relies on excrement...it's not so much a pitcher as a toilet: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nepenthes_lowii
Damn, I had no idea these flowered. I could never keep them alive either.
Reminds me of how high up the crash symbol is for the drummer in Silversun Pickups
Show
Does this provide a special sound? Have to do with their style? Just fun? I dunno most about drums
Just a random guess, but I could see the argument that it would reduce crash bleed into the rest of the kit. It might make it easier to mix the main kit more tightly. But if that’s the case, then why leave the hihat low? It might just be a stylistic thing or it might be for the drummer to remember to not ride the crash. I dunno. It’s certainly not standard. They’re the only ones I’ve seen do it on such a small kit.
Edit: I just realized it’s probably up so high so the drummer doesn’t accidentally kill their pollinators
That's a "crash cymbal", by the way. Pronunciation is very similar, but it's a different word.
