I want to take a moment to introduce you to some carnivores now living in our home. Meet Jaws:
It’s a Venus Fly Trap! We bought four of them at Farm Boy (the Britannia location) last night.
Not only is this a pretty darn cool window decoration but it’s a biology lesson to boot. Because I have a notorious black thumb as it comes to green things, I have been reading up on how to take care of venus fly traps. One resource I’ve found so far: How to care for Venus Flytraps (It’s Wikihow. Perfect.). I had no idea they had a dormant period and loved crappy soil! (In other words, I can probably do this.)
Suffice it to say we’ve been shooing tiny flying things into their maws already. Maybe they’ll reduce the number of fruit flies we get during the summer??
