Wiggly Anna died
United Kingdom 
IDear all my wiggly anna question is not a wind up. I bought the plant last year from the London flower market when visiting friends. I can't remember its botanical name. It's a carniverous plant and it did exist. It started quite well and then died over the winter.

Mookins carnivorous plants only eat flies and the like... there are sundews which are UK natives and others which come from South America... take a look at http://biology.about.com/od/plantbiology/a/aa071306a.htm
I'm not aware of any plant food having snails in it, not even dead, composted, ground-up ones :-) Snails eat plants...

I'd guess this is a carnivorous plant and the owner has force fed it snails - which might explain a lot! Either that, or its a wind up....

hi Handbagofhappiness - are you winding us all up... or are you a troll?
26 Sep, 2009
I think you have hit the nail moon grower,
26 Sep, 2009
Oh... I do hope not. But of that is the case we need to remember 'do not feed the troll'
26 Sep, 2009
watis a troll?and why you not feedit
27 Sep, 2009
Someone who posts either silly or downright nasty posts on a site like this. Only way to deal with them is to ignore them. We had a bad experience with one a week or so ago.

I'm glad this is not a wind up... still looks like you killed the plant by feeding it snails. That said if it is related to Darlingtonia californica the websites seem to say it is difficult to keep alive. You're lucky you didn't get caught taking the plant through customs.

This plant is called Sarracenia x 'Wrigleyana'
it's an unusual pitcher plant that catches vine weevils flies and many unwanted pests. It is hardy and likes moist soil. The plant must not be fed as it obtains it's nourishment from the insects it captures.

Thank you Rainbow, that is most helpful. I really like the bit about catching vine weavils! I have quickly explored the web and, whilst it might have to come in for winter, for me, it may well be worth a try.
20 Oct, 2009
Wow any plant that catches vine weevils is welcome in this garden!

If you want another one handbag you can buy it at this website http://yhst-27104608415819.stores.yahoo.net/sarracenia-x-wrigleyana-scarlet-belle.html

Thankyou. I thought I was going mad for a moment back there. Sorry about the spelling everyone.
20 Oct, 2009
Um do you mean Wigela? And why would you feed any plant snails? Even carnivorous plants don't eat snails...
