Today I am going to take pictures of all the different carnivorous plants that have flowers open. There are many more that have only buds, but I'm going to concentrate on the ones that have flowers.
This flower is high above the spider Venus flytrap (below) and it's the smallest Venus that I have. Sending the flower high up is very important as far as carnivorous plants go
because you don't want to eat the bugs that are pollinating your flowers.
Next we have the Drosera Binata that has grown quite a bit since summer started. It's flower it's just starting to open I had shown you pictures of its flower, the first of all of my plants to make one, and that cluster are drying right now.
I am glad it has produced seeds and I am hoping to grow the next one from seeds. Here is the current state of the Binata.
Next, we have the three large droseras and they all have flowers. They live in the corner on their own stand. You can see that all of these raise their flowers high above their deadly leaves.
Here are some close ups of their flowers.
The last photo has a very large cluster and three new flowers bloom each day on this one plant. It does that for thirty days straight. That's 90 flowers in a month!
The largest Venus
Here is my largest Venus Flytrap and it's white flowers are actually encroaching on its neighbor, the pitcher plant, which has no flower yet but it is still very beautiful. You will see another shot of this down below.
You can see that this plant stretched its flower two plants over. The Venus' pot is the green one (lower right) and its flower is very far from home, crossing over another drosera and trying to compete for the pitcher plant's prey.
Here is the Venus that owns that flower. I think you may remember the day it got its new green pot.
Below, we have a much smaller Venus just below my pinky finger in the light-blue pot. It is producing its first flower shooting it far above its traps.
Here we have the Sarracenia (pitcher plant) with its mouth wide open, but this picture should be highlighting the drosera flowers behind it. That plant is in the orange pot
On the left you can see a white flower which is from the large Venus, the pitcher plant right next to that and some of the other droseras, which I have yet to present in this post with their daily flowers.
This flower is a close up of the upper left corner the chaotic photo above this one.
This one is in the upper right corner of the chaotic photo. The first few daily blooms usually point down because the flower stem is not fully unrolled and it is still being extended upward.
There are 123 more bug-eaters that where not photographed or mentioned in this post because they had no flower to present. Here is the whole family, at least the ones that are located on the back patio. They are all very thirsty and, for that reason, I have to distill my own water. I will be making a post about my distiller soon.
Here is a shot of some of the others including the babies I have been potting non-stop.
This hobby/business keeps me very busy and I only post a small fraction of what I do for these beauties.
