Dionaea muscipula - probably the best-known carnivorous plant in the world, better known as the Venus Flytrap. This plant eats insects - the inner part of the plant is coated with tiny hairs; when an insect touches one, the plant closes shut, then begins to secrete digestive enzymes, which kill serve to kill the prey and absorb its nutrients.
Found in the Carnivorous Plants section at the David Welch Winter Gardens at Duthie Park, Aberdeen.
I had the veal piccata and it was fantastic. This picture doesn't do it justice, but it was the best I could do quickly with a flash in a rather dark room. I feel that too much food photography makes the food look unappetizing (menus at hole-in-the wall Chinese restaurants doubly so). I hate to add to that, but the dinner was too good not to be commemorated here. Any time you combine veal with capers and golden raisins you've got my vote.

Dionaea muscipula
This plant is native just to this area of NC, where it can grow in great abundance. This was one of the densest stands we saw, and the variety of colors of the leaves was amazing, and beautiful.
Growing in the New Forest, Hampshire, UK.
It appears whoever introduced the plants to the site,is actively managing them to prevent any further growth. The population is limited to a few individual plants.

The Venus flytrap (also referred to as Venus's flytrap or Venus' flytrap), Dionaea muscipula, is a carnivorous plant native to subtropical wetlands on the East Coast of the United States in North Carolina and South Carolina. It catches its prey—chiefly insects and arachnids— with a trapping structure formed by the terminal portion of each of the plant's leaves and is triggered by tiny hairs on their inner surfaces. When an insect or spider crawling along the leaves contacts a hair, the trap closes if a different hair is contacted within twenty seconds of the first strike. The requirement of redundant triggering in this mechanism serves as a safeguard against a waste of energy in trapping objects with no nutritional value.

this image was taken during a trip to the Cameron Highlands, Malaysia during a trip in July 2003. I had just purchased my new nikon d100 with a tameron 28-200 zoom .. so this was a good test. The trip was lots of fun!
