    This has exploded with growth in late summer and producing huge traps much bigger than expected.

    I was delighted to see that the description of this species was not exaggerated - I really did see it grab a fruit fly by the head! Delightful little flytrap, I'm looking forward to seeing it prosper in my house.

    GREAT!!!

    Posted by Ligia on November 16, 2015

    The plant arrived in great shape, survived a very long trip to Europe ( took it better than I did ) and is currently thriving outside...eating flies like there is no tomorrow. Doesn't need a lot of care just a sunny spot and rain water. I am very happy with my purchase!
