    Bought this sundew to catch all the pesky fruit flies around my plants. I've never had much success with carnivorous plants but this one is apparently very easy to keep.

    Bye bye flies! :D

    Yeah it earns its keep!

    It's a really pretty plant. I'm fascinated by it! Hopefully it does a good job of catching all the fruit flies!
