Gross! But just in case Audrey does need a live bug, I'll give her a few hours outside, in a corner by the front door, so she can feast on flies and spiders.BootsandBraidshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03516676772421046983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3654372504968060497.post-9317947794900142172023-03-31T14:03:25.156-07:002023-03-31T14:03:25.156-07:00ROFLMAO!

Find, swat, or save a dead bug, (live one if you want to mess with it,) and with tweezers, drop it into the open flytrap. I sent one to my kid when he was in vet school; even mailed some dead flies for him to feed it. They're weird plants. Give it to AD or the Stalker girl. Glad your rain isn't pouring into your apartment!

She's fascinating to look at and, though small, the fact that she's got these fuzzy little teeth thingies makes me a little afraid of her. Diamond Bar isn't too far from me, so floods, the snowing where it never snowed before and the tornado not too far away, means locusts, frogs, the plague of Egypt isn't out of the question.BootsandBraidshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03516676772421046983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3654372504968060497.post-89898128313828840362023-03-30T10:05:21.937-07:002023-03-30T10:05:21.937-07:00I'll hang onto them for a while, see how it go...I'll hang onto them for a while, see how it goes.BootsandBraidshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03516676772421046983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3654372504968060497.post-60562722074288298992023-03-30T09:38:36.491-07:002023-03-30T09:38:36.491-07:00Depending on what type of flower, you could possib...Depending on what type of flower, you could possibly have them in pots on the windowsill, too.Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13915962999372304054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3654372504968060497.post-82576657287290329962023-03-30T07:51:09.822-07:002023-03-30T07:51:09.822-07:00Looked like a Venus Flytrap to me, they're dif...Looked like a Venus Flytrap to me, they're difficult to keep Alive but they are a fascinating Plant. I got some Exotic large Plants from of all places, the 99 Cent Only Store, which now has more expensive things, the Plants were $19.99 but the size and type that would cost Hundreds at a Plant Nursery and they were very healthy specimens, so I was Jazzed. My Brother in Diamond Bar got flooded even tho' they Sandbagged and they had a Tornado touch down only 20 Miles from where they live too, Cali is really experiencing the Climate Change disastrous effects for sure. I joked with him that next it will be Locusts and Frogs. *Winks*Bohemianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03743017084098726581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3654372504968060497.post-29140888458694694812023-03-30T06:33:13.012-07:002023-03-30T06:33:13.012-07:00The nearest to animal protein this Audrey is likel...The nearest to animal protein this Audrey is likely to get are the occasional pesky gnats.BootsandBraidshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03516676772421046983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3654372504968060497.post-69389496031711238272023-03-30T01:24:03.798-07:002023-03-30T01:24:03.798-07:00I had an Audrey when I was around 10.

Plus, I need the balcony bare so I can decorate for Halloween and Christmas. IF, we still had a Community Garden, that would be perfect. I like that idea of Conservatory in a city park. I'll do some research to see if an option in my area.BootsandBraidshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03516676772421046983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3654372504968060497.post-63055384572013824802023-03-29T21:38:04.884-07:002023-03-29T21:38:04.884-07:00Not a problem.

I once took a bonsai course for which I had to buy a small baby pine tree in a pot. The course was beyond my horticultural skill so I never finished it. But what to do with the little pine tree? Like you, I didn't just want to kill it by pitching it in the garbage or something. So one morning at dawn, I drove it to the Conservatory in a city park and left it at the front door, like an abandoned orphan baby, trusting that the conservatory staff would give it a good home somewhere. I hope it's still growing in the park somewhere, lol.Debra She Who Seekshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01845703092794695023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3654372504968060497.post-6610067141002248932023-03-29T18:26:36.463-07:002023-03-29T18:26:36.463-07:00Cheater, but Google is correct.Cheater, but Google is correct.BootsandBraidshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03516676772421046983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3654372504968060497.post-55728908158221267942023-03-29T17:55:55.837-07:002023-03-29T17:55:55.837-07:00Google thinks it's a Venus Fly Trap.Google thinks it's a Venus Fly Trap.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00017192454403363349noreply@blogger.com
