Default Cooked my venus fly trap...

The sundews you get in GCs come from warmer climes and won't survive our
winters, but we have our own insectivorous plants - 3 species of sundew,
two of butterwort and another thing beginning with u whose name I
forget.


Utricularia - bladderworts.
There are also some pitcher plants that were introduced to peat bogs
in Ireland which have flourished.

If you're interested in finding out more, as well as the link I posted
before, check out 'The Savage Garden' by Peter D'Amato. A marvellous
book covering all species of carnivorous plants. You can get it from
Amazon.
