Dionaea muscipula 'Venus fly trap'

Wow!!!

Me neither - looking forward to seeing the flower!

I Used To Have One Of These But It Died =[

nice flytrap. im pretty new to carnivorous plants, but i read on other websites that you should'nt let them flower as this uses a lot of the plants energy. however, did you let it flower & if so did you take any photo's? :-)

If you have a look at my blogs and go back a bit, there is one about venus fly trap flowering with pics.
I also heard the same about sapping the energy, and yes it has taken a dive but once it flowered I cut the stem off, it has had a bit of a rest and now it is starting to grow again.

I shalln't let it flower again,.

thanks for the quick reply. i have read the blog. which i think is good by the way. then several other of your blogs too. got to admit iv had a few ideas from looking at your photos. ;-)
