Venus Fly Traps

I have always wanted one, since I was about 7 and realised they actually existed.

Anyway. I made my brother buy me one from B&Q and it was all so exciting.

Except now it's turning black and dying because I don't have the heart to feed it insects.

I thought I could make do with just watering it every so often.

But, apparently not.

I am hungry and need a persimmon.

Oh no no no

Hello, Chet. Do you still talk to Iliyah? You should invite him here.

Maybe.

I don't think he'll show up, though.

Why not? We need a resident paedo to take the piss out of every so often.

Those things creep me out. I remember once there was one in my dentist's waiting room and for some reason I got the feeling that it was looking at me and that it had an actual consciousness. I do also remember, however, being pretty stoned that day.

Ham is Grosie Josie.

Maybe I can feed it mushrooms. *googles*

I'd just end up having the same issue. Plus B&Q is...well I don't know where it is from here.

I tried feeding it a bug this evening, nothing happened. It didn't close even when I stimulated it.

How very sad.

I'm guessing the lack of sunlight in my room probably didn't help. But apparently, I was supposed to water it using purified water - not tap. And re-plant it in a bigger pot. And I wasn't allowed to use regular potting soil, it should have been half-and-half wet SPHAGNUM peat moss and perlite...

So many things the plastic tab thingy neglected to mention. Maayan Taube
