If it had 6 petals, I would guess some kind of lily or onion but only having 5, usually makes it a dictot. All of the guesses I can make are buttercup relatives (Rannunculs, Anemone, Clematis, water lily). Ok, I give in. No doubt by now you have seen it's a Venus flytrap. It's the family pet, and lives on the bathroom window. We called it Fred (Phrod) as in Aphrodyte - it was a long and convoluted discussion with the other half, whose plant it really is, even though I am the one keeping it in water, and occasionally hunting for it - flying insects are inexistent in our house this time of year. I was flabbergasted when Phrod threw out that big long shoot, and had been waiting like an expectant mammy to see what the flower would look like - and this wonderful delicate effort opened up yesterday morning. I thought I might keep people in some suspense, but I was counting without the razor sharp Ms K :-) Cat(h) And she first suggested Sundew (Drosera) which is in the same family and has similar flowers.
