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.
This plant produces a single inflorescence followed by a solitary leaf. In spring a mature tuber will first produce the unusual pink and white flower with green lines.
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.
