Description
 
Easily the most widely recognized carnivorous plant, the Venus flytrap is a true classic.  With their fanged, gaping traps, and their truly remarkable feeding action, there is nothing else in the world like it.  

When an insect comes in contact with the tiny trigger-hairs inside of the Venus flytrap's mouth, the trap will shut in a fraction of a second.  The insect will then be digested by the Venus flytrap over several days.  

Venus flytraps are temperate perennials, which means they require a Winter dormancy.  During this time, your Venus flytrap's growth will slow or cease completely and the plant may appear to be completely dead.

So Far, so good August 14, 2011
Reviewer: Curtis Glenn from Philadelphia, PA United States  
Purchased a venus flytrap bulb from Predatory plants.  When it arrived was afraid I would kill the plant just like the 2 others previously purchased (although the others were in pots already).  

To my suprise, this one is surviving unlike the potted plants which I killed in a matter of days..........

Will have to purchase bulbs from now on.  Thanks Predatory Plants ! !
