My venus flytrap has been featured over on Cheryl‛s Garden Party*. This is the same flytrap that spits out its food and is currently refusing to go to sleep. It should be in its winter dormancy because of the lower temperatures and reduced photoperiod in that window, but instead it‛s developed the tell-tale blush of healthy flytraps and continues to set new traps. Stubborn little thing. It‛s currently in a pot with a bunch of baby sundews and their mama since I didn‛t know any better. I‛m going to repot it by itself in a few weeks so it can go into a dark, cool closet next winter. If it won‛t go to sleep when it‛s supposed to, then it‛s so grounded.

*Nepotism might have something to do with it; Cheryl is my mother.

Update: There’s a better picture of it over here.
