My partner experimented with making a new home for our Venus Fly Trap using a plastic bottle donated by his parents but it didn't work so we're back to last year's home - made out of two plastic punnets (again donated by his parents) and a plastic mailing bag (recycled from a magazine subscription). For a closer look at the venus flytrap itself, see this post.
I had one years ago. I used to stare at it for hours, waiting for the fly to land. But then I also stared at Gilligan's Island and ate a batch of cookies as well.

Good luck with the Flytrap. They are awfully delicate. :)
ReplyDeleteDoesn't that make it hard for flies to get in?
ReplyDeleteStu - lol, yes but they don't get the flies in the winter anyway, its plant food from a bottle. You try being a fly in the Scottish winter,,,
ReplyDeletein the spring, summer and autumn it doesn't have a house, and it can eat as many flies or wasps as it wants....

ReplyDeleteThis could turn into an epic tale. Is there a certain symbolism in the choice of plant? Haha,
ReplyDeleteLooks sort of cozy.....best wishes to Miss Venus.
ReplyDeleteGads .. that thing is more work than a pet rabbit! Good luck again this winter.
ReplyDeleteInteresting! I've never seen anyone keeping Venus fly traps at home.. until now :D
ReplyDeleteLovely job keeping the little carnivore healthy and thriving. Nice to "see" you again-- I like the new look.
ReplyDeleteAny idea what happened to One Breath Poetry? Missing all those good links...
All the best, Juliet!
