I'd have to say that personally pitcher plants are my favorite, although they're in a tough race with Venus Fly traps. Which do you prefer? Sundews? Others?

I prefer the venus fly trap only because that is the only one I have ever owned. It was a fun plant to have and watch. I use to love putting insects in its mouth and watch it close on them. Unfortunately I didn't know how to care for it the best and it ended up dying on me. I have seen pictures of the pitcher plant and have always thought that would be a fun one to own.

Pitcher's are great! I just got a few off of eBay. Owned them a while back, but my little brother...yes! my little brother, he was 2 at the time, I think I was about 16; anyhow, the little man went in my room, and ate them all!
If you get a chance to get hold of some, do seize the opportunity. You wont regret it.

I would have to agree with you. The pitcher plant is definitely my favorite. Although they all hold a small space in my heart. =)

I am just getting started with my love for carnivorus creatures. But i do have a love for the venus fly trap. Thanks to good ol lil shop of horrors. But i will try to scoop up some of these pitcher plants they look pretty cool. Hey any fun facts on venus fly traps?
I am trying to grow some for my nephews! trying to get them motivated and i think they would love this kind of stuff! Any other cool carnivorous plants out there that might be fun? Also do you think they are hard to grow in the north?

The only carnivorous plant I have ever even seen is a Venus Fly Trap. I have heard of many other types, ut I have never seen them. I bought a Venus Fly Trap for my kids several months ago, but it didn't live very long for us. I guess I just haven't quite figured out the proper care for them yet.
