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.
Each leaf consists of a thin petiole and a round, red lamina measuring up to 2 mm in diameter. Leaves in a convex rosette. The rossettes are about 1.5 - 2 cm. It flowers early Spring to mid Summer.
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.
