Back in late April, on a whim, I bought 20 inexpensive Venus flytraps off eBay from a seller in Slovakia. I thought it would take a couple weeks for them to arrive, but it ended up taking a whole month (see this post). Needless to say, the flytraps were none too happy about spending so long in the dark. After I unpacked them and cleaned them up, they looked more like bean sprouts than flytraps.
I potted them and put them outside in a shady location to recover.
Two and a half months later, here's what they look like:
I didn't lose a single plant. It's amazing what a little warmth, humidity, and sunshine can do. I keep telling people that Venus flytraps are tougher than they think, and now I have the pictures to prove it.
