Welcome to our January photo contest. So, to start the year off right, we will start with the plant that probably started most of us off in this hobby - the Venus Flytrap. Post your best Dionea muscipula photo for us all to ooh and aah over. And, appropriately so, this month's prize is a flytrap from The Flytrap Store. Again, thank you to Matt and Leah for sponsoring the contest. How does a Low Giant from The Flytrap Store sound?

As with our other photo contests, the winner is responsible for shipping. There will be alternate prizes available that do not involve a shipping cost if necessary. Remember, only one entry per person, and it must by your own photo. Anything else disqualifies you (although we still would like to see the pictures).

Vote for your favorite pictures by clicking the thumbs up button. I can't wait to see your photos.

Bumping this up to remind everyone to post your flytrap pics and vote for your favorite photos. It is a close race for the prize of a Low Giant from The Flytrap Store. There is still plenty of time to get your entries in so let's see them traps!
