# Looks like Mr. Piranha is getting ready to bloom. Our Dionaea…

Looks like Mr. Piranha is getting ready to bloom. Our Dionaea muscipula ‘Akai Ryu’ (also known as Venus flytrap) is sending up a flower stalk for the first time this season. We’re not sure yet if we’re going to let it flower or trim the stalk, open to suggestions. And yes, our cheeky Nepenthes photobombed again. Can’t keep the monkey pitcher out of the spotlight.
