Firstly, I just read your post about your surgery. How are you feeling? Have you mostly recovered? I had surgery twice last year. The surgery itself is always fine but it the day after when you feel icky that is the hardest part. Looks like you had an awesome team by your side ready to support you through it though!
Great plant choices for your comparison. If you had to plant one o these in your garden, what would it be and why?
Reading your Venn diagram got me interested in doing more research about the pitcher plant. Did you know that there is one type of pitcher plant that eats mice and small rats. They are lured into the plant and then the lid snaps shut. DO you know if there are any other carnivorous plants other than these two?
Have a great afternoon and I hope you feel better soon.
Feeling a lot better than I was at the hospital but, still some up's and down's. Like still a bit sore but slowly recovering. That's exactly how I felt, I felt very much fine after surgery but the next day after I was in much more pain then before.
If i had to chose one of those plants to plant in my garden it would have to be the Venus Flytrap. I chose that plant because my family hates flies. like you said some Pitcher plants actually eat rat and mice is well, but because we don't have much rats and mice (well at my house) then I would really have the need to plant it. Flies annoy us mostly because when we are eating they just swoop out of no where.
I did know that there were other carnivore plants other than these two but I didn't really know what some of them were called. I did a little bit of research and this is what I found. Did you know, that there are around 18-20 carnivore plants. There are also around 9-10 extincted carnivore species. So altogether there are, 38-40 carnivore plants.
Kia Ora Jahzara.
