I have one very similar to yours, Glen. Tag is long ago lost in the mass of foliage so I'm glad to have the name again. Mine's in the shifting shade of an oak tree but could probably do better if it was in more sun. It's had no water for over a week so I can't post a picture just now.

I really like that Trigger plant. Must be fun to watch it hammer the bugs! I really need more carnivores around here - way too many mosquitoes in my garden despite my efforts to discourage them with dunks and coffee grounds.

@Maiden it seems that you keep yours indoors under lights, and in a little clear dome to maintain good humidity? I've never been able to get a Venus Flytrap to survive even in the hot, humid summer here. Is there a secret besides warm and humid?

I'd love to see more names (even the common names are good) to go with your pictures, too.
