Hello everyone! Ready for the first plant of the day? Today's plant is the Venus Flytrap!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
It's scientific name is Dionaea muscipula, and was first described in 1763. This plant is special because it is carnivorous, meaning it eats other consumers. The venus flytrap is considered a flowering plant because of it's hinged lobes. Right now the venus flytrap's conservation status is vulnerable, as it's native range population has decreased by 93% since 1979.
Happy gardening!
