Venus Flytrap?

[Zonny]

Hi all,

DS has expressed interest in owning a Venus Flytrap. I haven't looked into it at all yet; anyone know if they're readily available in plant/flower shops, etc.?

I've seen them in Rona and sprawl-mart. They are fun to watch.

I've kept them in the past and the main danger is over-feeding them with bits of mince. And letting them get too dry. But otherwise they are easy to keep.

My son loved his Venus fly traps, we always could find them at this time of year at our local garden center. I tried growing them from seed once and it was not successful ...they take forever to germinate or maybe it was just me!
