Carnivorous Plant Lovers, Unite!

I can't remember who it was, but someone on my FL recently wanted to get a Venus Flytrap, but then decided against it I believe.

That person needs this: http://www.thinkgeek.com/cubegoodies/toys/76c9/

Where does the peat in the planting mix come from?
Peat bogs, fragile ecosystems, under threat, etc.

NFI. That question would best be asked of the manufacturer of the product I guess.

Of course. Food for thought was all.

The problem comes in tracking down who the manufacturer is.

Somehow I can't even imagine there being peat bogs in the US... it makes me think of Britain. But then that's just association more than anything concrete.

I'm guessing it was me, seeing as I mentioned searching around for venus flytraps a few weeks ago and...

I LOVE THIS!

Yep :)

My short term memory is still shot to hell with all the sleep deprivation and such ;)

So Very Tempring ...

(Or for the gothic geek (http://www.pyramidcollection.com/itemdy00.asp?c=&T1=P22690&GEN1=Gothic&SKW=gothic&PageNo=2) ...)

I saw venus fly traps at Wal-Mart the other day, and was tempted beyond all reason to buy one. I would have too, except every poor little plant was already half dead. This one looks like it would be a little easier to care for, and with my black thumb, that's a good thing!

Ah yes, I remember that set too :) I think we probably need one of each :D

[livejournal.com profile] prez wants a carnivorous one for his office.

The vicious savage in me would probably go for the carnivorous ones as well. :D
