FOTD: Dionaea muscipula

Venus Fly Trap
The Venus flytrap (Dionaea muscipula)
is a carnivorous plant native
to subtropical wetlands
on the East Coast
of the United States
in North Carolina
and South Carolina.
The English botanist John Ellis,
who gave the plant
its scientific name in 1768,
wrote that the plant name tippitywichit
was an indigenous word
from either Cherokee or Catawba.

These particular Venus Fly Trap plants are on display in an aquarium in The Schiele Museum of Natural History and Planetarium in Gastonia, North Carolina.

I am an avid reader. I read mostly Amish fiction but also read other novels. I enjoy romance, mystery, and Christian devotionals. I enjoy hiking in the outdoors, especially in Greenways and State or National Parks. I love my grandson. He is my favorite subject, so I'll post about him and his antics.
