Venus Flytrap are the most popular Carnivorous Plants.
They are fascinating to watch and are favorite subjects for science projects. They are a wonderful hobby for anyone.
I have been asked some strange questions about the eating habits of Venus Flytrap...and no, there are no Venus Flytrap that can catch dogs or small children.
In fact, they aren't capable of consuming anything larger than perhaps a cricket and that would be a feast that would last for a long time. So
they are quite safe as first pets for your youngsters.

The Red Dragon Venus Flytrap |
|
This is an example of a Red Dragon Venus Flyrap. Notice the long eyelash type spikes on the edges of the traps. They are really
quite soft but are enough to keep a fly from crawling out.
The Red Dragon will turn the dark burgundy red color you see on this specimen if given adequate sunlight. If grown in less direct sunlight
it would have more green coloration with the red showing up in the areas closest to the light.
The Red Dragon grows fairly closely to the ground with long, strong leaves supporting large traps when mature.
