Reading about how Venus fly traps were compared to female genitalia and religious teachers used it as a metaphor for indulging in 'sinful pleasures' and can these old scientists be chill for literally five minutes

Cephalotus follicularis yawning in the afternoon. I'm using a clay pot and this soil mix: one part of peat, one part of quartz sand, one part of perlite, a coffee spoon of trichoderma and clay balls on the bottom for drainage. Now lets see how it will work. I'm doing apotropaic gestures (le corna!). #gardening #carnivorousplants #carnivorousplant

Venus Atrapamoscas.
El mecanismo de cierre de las hojas es tan especializado que puede distinguir entre presas vivas y estímulos diversos como gotas de agua, en el caso de que sea una presa, esta debe tocar dos de los pelos en un intervalo de veinte segundos o solo uno dos veces en rápida secuencia, tras lo cual los lóbulos se cierran en una décima de segundo.

Dionaea muscipula. The flowers grow away from the leaves so that pollinating insects do not fall into the death traps.

Another type of pitcher plant. These are fun to draw.

#Nepenthes ampullaria is not rare but unique in its own way: it’s #detritivorous rather than carnivorous. The pitchers are there to collect leaf litters instead, that’s why the pitcher lid is so small.

My #Drosera admirabilis continues to be a delight! I love the color of blooms as well! #sundew #CarnivorousPlant I am collecting the seeds from my sundews, and will be attempting to propagate. I have never done that before. #houseplant

Was pretty positive I had killed these by acclimating them too quickly, but thankfully, no. Still *very* smol, and growing slowly, but very much alive.
#Byblis aquatica, a carnivorous annual native to northern Australia, similar to #Drosera and #Drosphyllum.
Full shot and 100% crop.

Afternoon, all. Another hot one. I think I might do some #Voluntrove on #Trove later to recover from my awful phone chores.
How’s your day going?
Today’s photo is another #CarnivorousPlant from partner’s collection. This is a Cape Sundew, Drosera capensis. These generally have purple flowers, but partner also has one with no anthocyanin, which has white flowers, and no red colouring in the leaves and blobs. #Drosera #Sundew #GardeningAu
