Since the category says "animals and other life forms" I'm guessing this goes here?  I don't see a section designated for plants yet so I'll start it I guess...  Here is most of my plant figures collection:

Oooo I am drooling over this botanical garden. :D I also have one of the pitcher plants and a rafflesia. I aspire to have a group like you do someday. Lovely collection!

I don't collect any flora, however, I'd consider a select few depending on size/price/quality.

What're the brands of the venusfly traps &
Rafflesia?

NSD Bashe

Thanks   ;D

The carnivorous plants on labelled bases (flytraps, pitcher plants) as well as the two large Rafflesia and pitcher plants in the back with rodents in them, are Takara TOMY brand; the little Rafflesia in the middle is the Kaiyodo Study Room model; the ones farther to the right are made by much smaller companies, very nicely done; one is called Wedarego and the other (the one with the cat) is "unbranded"; both can be found on Amazon and are quite possibly the easiest to obtain:

The Kaiyodo Rafflesia is pretty rare but comes up once in a while; the carnivorous Takara plants look like they're all available on eBay just expensive. 

I'm not positive what all the brands on everything are, I think some of them were "unbranded" but if you have questions about anymore I'll try to answer it.  Also I should maybe take them back out when I have the chance to show some of them a little more clearly, I'm afraid my attempt to display all of them at once may have jumbled some of it

I've thought about collecting carnivorous plants (my favorites), but there are so many expensive statues of Poison Ivy from Batman that contain Venus flytraps that I'd never be able to get them all. 
I like turtles.

I've thought about adding plants to my collection, especially since some of my protozoan figures are technically more closely related to true plants than animals. But so far, I resisted.

Thank you very much for starting this thread; I hope others can contribute more as well.

I see the Kabaya Coccinella septempunctata :)

I don't even collect terrestrial insects/arachnids. May have to start doing so before I consider plants.

I've even considered corals, sponges, and anemones in the past which are animals but not like my typical collection.

Happy to do so!  And yes, I couldn't resist it was too beautiful a figure both flower and ladybug looked just right for my garden   ^-^

Sponges, corals and anemones are also great choices.  And mushrooms even...
