Nature has its anolomolies, I see Venus fly traps, being sold at Wal-Mart.

The ones at Walmart are probably cultivated hybrids.

Growing these was one of my hobbies when I was a kid. I often wondered if they were obtained illegally. :)

had several of them a few years ago in Florida. they worked great for not just flys but also for the mosquitoes. they were outside under a covered porch so they did well....until SOMEBODY forgot to check their water. in my brilliance there was a decision to give then a little beer instead of water, you know...for the carbs. yeah....if you have Venus Flytraps Do NOT give them beer!

Imagine if they could cross breed the Venus Fly Trap with say, a Cholla (jumping cactus). If you touch it, its barbed thorn arms would wrap around you and trap you in the middle of the plant, then poke you until your fluids drained out, feeding the plant.

Then we could plant hundreds of thousands of them in the desert along the southern border.

That’s where I got mine.

I started with one pot and am up to four now. They live on my porch until the first freeze, then I bring them in at night if it’s going to be below freezing.

I always thought they were native to tropical climates in South America...
