Venus Flytraps are some of my favorite plants. Last year I looked everywhere for them, but didn’t find a single healthy one to buy. Found these as new stock at the HomeDepot garden center, so I bought six of them! They are native to North and South Carolina, but they are a protected species and it’s against the law to displace or dig them up.
Learning that focus stacking is more complex with a telephoto. More pix needed, through all field depths (imagine more so for macro) .... Buddha laughs at me, but I am not offended: The Universe entertains itself. We are a small part of the audience. It even simulates the smell of rotting meat to attract flies and propagate itself!
From the underground steel cage fight matches at Silent Sam's, Wildvine prepares for combat!
Wildvine is the Omnitrix's DNA sample of a Florauna[2][3] from the planet Flors Verdance.
Wildvine is a humanoid plant with one eye in the middle of his face, five vine-like legs, four long fingers on his hands, flytrap-shaped flaps with teeth covering his head, and pods on his back that he can use as explosives or smoke bombs.
In the Original Series, Wildvine had green skin, green teeth, five legs, the eye on his head was blue, and he had secondary eyes of the same color on each of his shoulders.He wore the original Omnitrix symbol on his chest.
In Back with a Vengeance, Wildvine wore a yellow raincoat.
In Ultimate Alien, Wildvine looked mostly the same as before, except his skin was recolored brownish-green, his flytrap teeth were recolored black, and his primary eye, secondary eyes, and Ultimatrix symbol were all recolored green.
In Omniverse, Wildvine regains the green skin color from the Original Series, he now has only four legs, his teeth were recolored white, and his fingers are much shorter and thicker. The secondary eyes on his shoulders are replaced with patches of light green similar to those on his hands. He also now has a blue tongue, his teeth are neater and his chin and flytrap teeth are bigger. 16-year-old Wildvine wears the Omnitrix symbol on a green and white belt.
In Breakpoint, 16-year-old Wildvine wore two red and white wristbands on his wrists, a white sweatband on his forehead, a white gym towel around his neck, and a larger tan belt over his Omnitrix belt.
11-year-old Ben as Wildvine in Omniverse looks the same as his 16-year-old self, but wears the original Omnitrix symbol (which has been recolored green) on his chest to reflect his original appearance.
Ken's Wildvine looked the same as 10-year-old Wildvine in the Original Series.
Negative Wildvine looks just like 16-year-old Wildvine in Omniverse, but is greenish-brown with a red eye and his flytrap teeth are black. Negative Wildvine wears a red and white belt with a red Ultimatrix symbol on it.
Gwen 10 as Wildvine looks similar to her male counterpart, but her body is shaped like a dress. Her fly trap is much larger, and she has bulb-like hair with a ponytail, along with dark green lips. She has a skirt-like structure on her waist which covers the top of her leg tendrils. She lacks the spikes that Ben's Wildvine has on his arms, legs, and chest and she has one glowing pink eye. She wears the Omnitrix symbol, which is the same color as her eye, on her stomach.
Powers and Abilities
Chlorokinesis
Wildvine can grow and alter parts of his body, being able to grow and extend his arms, legs, and fingers into vine-like tentacles to grab and restrain others. He can also enlarge his trap to a size that can fit an entire person. He is also extremely flexible due to his plant-like body. His fingers can also stick to surfaces, which allow him to swing around with great agility.
Wildvine can use his body alteration capabilities to grow sharp thorns on his body. Wildvine is also capable of chlorokinesis, as demonstrated by Kevin's Omniverse Flashback Mutation when he trapped the Tennysons and his own teammates by trapping them in thick vines and by Negative Wildvine when he used chlorokinesis to wrap several people on tables.
Wildvine is able to regenerate his body if any part of it gets damaged, including his head as demonstrated by Pax.
Wildvine's vines are strong enough to lift two weights while supporting himself. He can also increase the size of them.
Wildvine can grow black fruit-like pods on his back that contain a whole host of substances (lethal and non-lethal), allowing him to use them as explosives or smoke bombs, as mentioned above. His pods can also grow vines. Wildvine also can tame Gracklflints using his fruits pods, as demonstrated by Pax.
Wildvine possesses enhanced strength, as he was able to trap a Loboan in his tendrils, stop a falling cargo lift from landing on Max and Gwen and hold it for a short time, and easily break rocks with his bare hands.
Wildvine is capable of quickly tunneling underground.
Wildvine is immune to the effects of a flame retardant.
Wildvine may be immune to a Vladat's Corrupturas if he can exert enough willpower.
Wildvine is able to communicate with sentient plants.
Wildvine can close his flytrap, as seen during his fight with the Werewolf when he dragged him underground. He can also trap people by closing his flytrap, as demonstrated by wild Florauna.
Wildvine is capable of making whips by extruding tendrils out of the palms of his hands.
Wildvine can launch thorns at his foes. He can also fuse himself to any terrestrial plant, such as Earth trees.
Weaknesses
Tangled Vines
Wildvine's vines can be tangled.He can also be tangled up in his own vines.
If Wildvine stretches himself too much, his arms will stay stretched and unable to shorten.
Wildvine has a weakness against electricity, such as that generated by an Amperi, as demonstrated with Pax.
Being a plant-based alien, Wildvine is particularly sensitive to fire and cold. Unless he is given his energy source, he will quickly dry up, wilt, and perish.

The flowers are carried on very long stalks well away from the traps. The plants fo not want to kill their pollinating insects.
Iv'e never seen this happen before, somehow this garden spider must have walked into this venus flytrap and naturally would have no time to escape.. If you look close in the middle you can see the spiders fangs and eyes..
There is only one species of the Venus flytrap but there are many different forms and mutations in cultivation. In this one the plant has taken on a deep red colouration and the "teeth" on the edge of the trap have become small and pointed like those of a Piranha - hence its name. Is that just nectar running down from the teeth on the upper jaw? Or is it blood? Well a plants got to eat hasn't he.
The Venus flytrap, Dionaea muscipula, is a carnivorous plant native to subtropical wetlands on the East Coast of the United States. 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 venus flytrap resides in the Stanley Rehder Carnivorous Plant Garden in Wilmington, North Carolina. Note the trigger hairs inside the pads that the plant uses to detect prey.

In the year 2153, man had finally tamed Mars - or Musk, as it was called these days after the man & ego who first laid claim to the planet. The terraforming went smoothly and life was... normal. Until it wasn't. We went too far - something ancient, perhaps sentient, reacted to our terraforming. The flytrap awoke. It reduced our once beautiful colony to nothing in mere days.
Thanks to Ley for the name, and to all fantastic Bricks & Beer people for the build prompt and hangout.
And yes, this is all LEGO. It's my first HO scale MOC, I suppose.
All right, we all know what this is. Right? You don't need a Doctorate in Awesome Botanical Awesomeness to recognize a Venus Flytrap. Ah! But, but, if you view large and lean in toward the monitor, you'll see the very tiny tip of my pinky finger in there. I was trying to feed it flies. And it thought that my finger was a more scrumptious snack.
So: snap! Ate my finger. A small price to pay for such a fine weekend.
The highly poisonous arum maculatum has many names. You may know it as lords and ladies, cuckoo-pint, arum lily, snakeshead, adder's root, arum, wild arum, devils and angels, cows and bulls, soldiers diddies, priest's pintle, Adam and Eve, bobbins, naked girls, naked boys, starch-root, wake robin, friar's cowl, sonsie-give-us-your-hand, jack in the pulpit and cheese and toast.

Have you seen fly trap flowers?? I never have, so this surprised me! Surprised me also how beautiful they are.
This leaf tip was maybe three quarter's of an inch across when open, as in my image.

I felt very honoured to be asked if I would give permission to have this image (and two others) displayed on the Harvard University's website, ARKive (May 2011).
"A vast treasury of wildlife images has been steadily accumulating over the past century, yet no one has known its full extent - or indeed its gaps - and no one has had a comprehensive way of gaining access to it. ARKive will put that right, and it will be an invaluable tool for all concerned with the well-being of the natural world."

Various Venus flytraps. That moss decorates the pot but has a nasty tendency to smother the plants in the long term.
do you know that the venus fly trap can live to be over one hundred years old ?most only live about thirty years though...
how would you like to live on a diet of flys for that long ?
i really enjoy being human, just for that reason alone..
