Venus Flytrap, Dionaea muscipula. It's native to the wetlands of North and South Carolina, USA. A plant has naturalised in my garden and has been very happy there for several years.
Collected in Ealing, London, England, UK.

A Venus's Flytrap. LOTS of them. Beware all you pesky little flies! Bwahaha!
OK, too much coffee - I'm better now. These very cool little plants were the first ones I've ever seen. Kinda pretty and kinda creepy all at the same time.
Seen at Dauset Trails Nature Center, in the Children's Garden,
I don't know the name of those tiny spiders with very long legs, but there were a lot of them on the flytrap.
And it seems that their legs make "swirls" when they are dead.
Je ne connais pas le nom de ces petites araignées aux longues pattes, mais il y en avait plein la dionée. Leur pattes frisent quand elles sont mortes, bizarre.
The highly evolved leaves of a Venus Flytrap have four or more trigger hairs on each half of the leaf. Several must be "tickled" for the plant to close.
WEEK 20 – Stateline Kroger Revisited, Set 1
Turning our attention now to the front wall of the produce department, where at least where all else has failed, we see that those signature greenhouse curved walls thankfully remain :P Pretty much the same design as can be found on the wall to the left is mirrored over here, simply with one less (fewer?) illustration panel, and department text that reads “from the garden” instead of “fresh produce.”
Previously, there would have been no lettering on the wall over here; instead, the wall was flytrap central during the bountiful days. Overbearing as those stencils can sometimes be, as a whole I much prefer having them to not having them. (Note that the floor looks particularly sad in this picture too, even though the existing tile admittedly was getting rough in its own right.)

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)
“The great wonder of the vegetable kingdom is a very curious unknown species of Sensitive. It is a dwarf plant. The leaves are like a narrow segment of a sphere, consisting of two parts, like the cap of a spring purse, the concave part outwards, each of which falls back with indented edges (like an iron spring fox-trap); upon anything touching the leaves, or falling between them, they instantly close like a spring trap, and confine any insect or anything that falls between them. It bears a white flower. To this surprising plant I have given the name of Fly trap Sensitive.” ~ Arthur Dobbs

Frederik Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park conservatory contains some rare plants. This is one of the more common plants but not one commonly displayed in conservatories or botanical gardens. www.nature.org/en-us/about-us/where-we-work/united-states.... There are 66 known carnivorous plants that grow in the United States and 38 of them grow only in North Carolina. Kenneth E Nelson Carnivorous Plant House
The 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.[3] It catches its prey—chiefly insects and arachnids—with a trapping structure formed by the terminal portion of each of the plant's leaves, which is triggered by tiny hairs (called "trigger hairs" or "sensitive hairs") on their inner surfaces.
When an insect or spider crawling along the leaves contacts a hair, the trap prepares to close, snapping shut only if another contact occurs within approximately twenty seconds of the first strike. Triggers may occur if one-tenth of the insect is within contact.[4] The requirement of redundant triggering in this mechanism serves as a safeguard against wasting energy by trapping objects with no nutritional value, and the plant will only begin digestion after five more stimuli to ensure it has caught a live bug worthy of consumption.
This ladybird made a nice snack for ours, we often get insects in the conservatory in summer so our plant doesn't go short of food.
Not sure how I feel about this headpiece. Interesting that they used pink. I also don't understand why they chose this expression for the face.
Venus Flytraps (Dionaea muscipula) are one type of carnivores plant that is endemic to the Wilmington, North Carolina region.
I am growing some moss i nicked from a wall in a terarium along side a Venus Flytrap. This is a reverse lens shot of fresh flytrap shoots no more than a cm in lengh the hairs only mms and the bubbles of glue on the tips of the hairs maybe a mm across!
Dionaea 'Sawtooth' is a cultivated variety (cultivar) of Venus flytrap.
This trap was erected enough to receive the late afternoon sun rays, while its surroundings were mostly in the shadow.

Ours was bought by our granddaughters on Father's Day last year and is doing well in the conservatory. This year we have even got some flowers, though best advice is not to let them flower.

This beautiful carnivores plant lies waiting for its next tasty meal. This is a well developed plant with few other plants competing for the space.
Dionaea muscipula:
Eine hungrige Pflanze, die ich mir vor allem zum Fotografieren gekauft habe.
