#VenusFlytrap leaves with two traps are very rare, and might only show once on a plant capable of producing it. This picture has two, from clone sisters who threw them out at the same time. Not visible is a third tiny one, that never grew very large. This was a couple of months after I broke up the cluster of babies that sprouted from the mother leaf. The same plants never did this again.

While my mother plants go dormant on the porch, a few winter babies are starting to come up inside. The sundew box is full of cuttings, I want plenty of them for cheese making experiments next year. I picked D. intermedia for the sundew species, as it seems to be taking over the outdoor collection rather well.

Today's Venus flytrap has red pigmentation, for cooler looking slides. The two of the same angle are lit from above and below, and together show quite well how the world is made of stained glass.
