Venus Fly Trap Flower
Those of you who know me know that I am an avid cultivar of carnivorous plants. I recently started a new CP terrarium and aquired two new varieties of Dionaea muscipula, or Venus fly trap. Both have sent up flowering stalks and the first flowers have just opened up. Most CP enthusiasts say you should snip off the stalks when they appear as they can rob this plant of vital energy needed for growth. I say screw that! I like my venus fly trap flowers and I wouldn't miss them for the world.
Anyone have any experience making an amazonian biosphere? I'm considering raising poision arrow frogs.
here are a couple shots I took:
This is offtopic...sorta, but when did you change your banner image to include buddha, a venus flytrap, a guitar, some alien looking thing and Buddy Christ in the background?
Pretty cool :) Any other objects in there that I missed?

I made that image when I moved over to typepad almost a year ago. Did you recently get a new monitor? The only thing you didn't mention was the national guard photo of GW.

don't feel bad, wob, it took me a while before I noticed the banner additions too.
the flytraps i had as a kid never grew flowers, those are cool! poison arrow frogs? aren't those, ya know, poisonous? are they even legal?

Those pics have always been in the banner. Who knows where I can score some poisonous frog? Is there any spam circulating that offers poison arrow frogs?

Amazonian rain forest? If you're growing the necessary plants for Ayahuasca, count me in.

I found this on google:
www.veiledchameleon.com
It's a crappy website, but might be worth giving them a call.
