Around a month ago, I bought a combo from lowes with a dormant pitcher plant and a flytrap, which I have posted about previously. The flytrap rhizome was not growing, and actually started to rot, so I removed it. After a weekend trip to cedar point, I came back to find my plants doing pretty well, and that none died while I was away. I also noticed something COMPLETELY unexpected! A baby VFT! I must have left a sliver of material in the pot, which started to grow undetected. Well, here it is. It's less than a centimeter tall! Image

Update! I found another one! I decided to move it in with the bulk of my capensis sprouts, as there was room for it and it was not as developed. however, the first one has just opened a tiny trap. Is this too small to feed? Image
There are two more traps on the way. :lol:
