I joined this forum at the beginning of January and just now decided to do this. Some things about me, I think Nepenthes are the best carnivorous plants, I currently have very few plants but I hope I will soon be able to expand my collection, and I just love seeing my Nepenthes grow and thrive(The first time my Nepenthes Sanguinea sprouted a basal I spent the whole day staring at it :lol: )

Thanks for the introduction! I agree that Nepenthes are pretty awesome carnivorous plants, but I would disagree that the are the best ;)

How can you put them over Venus flytrap that are able to sense their prey and snap shut in a fraction of a second?!!

Nepenthes sit there passively waiting for their unsuspecting prey to be oblivious enough to fall into their traps. Flytraps actually hunt their prey :D

In any case, all carnivorous plants are pretty awesome!!

Venus flytraps can only close a mere 3 times! And half of the time they don't even catch anything! :roll: Nepenthes can catch as much prey as their ginormous pitchers can hold! Nepenthes Rajah has been known to catch birds and rats, I'd like to see a Venus flytrap try to eat that much. 8-)
