The trap of the Venus Flytrap is one of Nature's most amazing marvels. The outer edges of the two clamshell-like halves are lined with nectar glands and stout bristles.
The most well known species of carnivorous plants. Traps have a limited number of false alarms. Don't stimulate them too often. Artificially springing the trap drains the plant's energy.
Seeds from Western Australia. Blooms from March to June. Depending on your climate, you may need to grow this plant sundew in a warm terrarium with strong fluorescent lights.
