Here are some shots I took today of some of my Carnivorous plants. Venus Fly Trap bloom. This is 1 bloom has 4 buds behind it fixing to bloom. The tag on this said Sundew Drosera has a couple of small pitchers on it.

Nepenthes Alata 22 Pitchers has a bunch of small ones up in the plant the largest one is 5 inches. Diane gave me this one last year. Watched a Bumble Bee go in this one today. I have no paper wasp anymore ants galore in these as well as the bunch on my porch. This is my first cutting off the above plant.

TomR I agree with you but the tag said Sundew Droseria when I bought it that is why I posted like I did. I am trying to locate some true Sundews at this time. Penny thanks for your kind words.

Some times garden centers or suppliers put the wrong tags on plants or someone mistakeningly puts a tag back in the wrong pot. Not everyone working at them are knowledgable at this stuff unfortunately...

VFTs are very slow starters. They do look like very tiny flytraps when starting out. What you see may be grass, a pic would be helpful.
