Wee carnivorous babies (omg!!) and some sweet basil, garnered from the Fremont Indoor Sun Shoppe. The meat eaters are a red dragon venus flytrap and a Sarracenia hybrid pitcher plant. I transplanted all of the plants into larger containers (the carnis require special soil and distilled water) and have been spoiling them rotten.

The gentleman who urged me to adopt them remarked that carni plants are better than video games and that I’d soon be obsessed. He was totally correct. The flytrap’s grown another lobe even since I shot this photo, and the pitcher plant is having a heyday with the fruit flies that live on the basil. I keep walking across the room to poke at the things and am pathetically, gleefully entertained.

Some people are crazy cat ladies. I suppose I am a crazy plant lady. But mock me and I’ll feed you to the flytrap, one morsel at a time.
