Vandas are Carniverous Orchids

While technically not carnivorous, I think Vandaceous do the same thing palm trees and Catasetum do; and catch all the crap they can get in their leaves.

I had recently been thinking this, both my vandas and catasetum do this, they exude a lot of happy sap and I was thinking that might be to attract flies, they do seem to collect in the leaf folds, and I presume in the wild these would fill up with water and there would be a nutrient soup collecting there, and then feeding the plant.
