lovely i remember learning about these in school ,after that its now that i am seeing these .thanks for sharing such lovely spottings !
Warm
Oh! sorry for that sacrificed flies.Feeding it so many insect will make it less red and it can rot because of catching flies :( Carnivorous plants is the most awesome plants in my mind :)

I was given a small one years ago & seem to recall that the instructions said to feed it flies - Sadly I don't have a green thumb & managed to kill it pretty quickly! I find carnivorous plants fascinating!

When it look like this --> http://image.ohozaa.com/i/338/6mzkV.JPG It can catch flies easily
Warm
@KarenL Yeah It can catch flies but this form cannot catch flies now.It should be taller and bigger for catching flies now it can catch only ants and seldom catch a small fly :D
KarenL
