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 rosettes are flat and about 4 cm across. The leaves are spoon-shaped. The upper surface of the light green leaves, have a covering of sticky tentacles which are a dark pink or brilliant red.
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.
