    The first time mine ever flowered I was blown away. It just now occurred to me the purpose of the long stalk after you pointed out it’s to keep pollinators safe from its jaws.

    I feel like an idiot for not realizing Venus fly traps need to flower, but now that I’ve seen it, it’s kind of a mini mind blow.
