Venus Flytrap - Dionaea Muscipula 'King Henry'
Venus Flytraps are infamous for their ability to trap, kill, and consume insects. Inside each trap are small hairs that can sense pray. When the sensory hairs are brushed or touched it triggers the trap to close. It then emits secretions which dissolve the insect and completely breaks down the body for food.

Customer Reviews
This looks dead to me (I discovered it is after fully unwrapping and depotting it). I’m sure it’s not entirely the actual companies fault but I’m also not sure and I’m very disappointed. (I revoke my 2 star review on behalf of the helpfulness of the company. They were willing to help with a replacement as in their reply, I wasn’t able to respond to their offer in a timely manner however I do greatly appreciate it. And understand that the shipping was delayed and the conditions weren’t great for the plant.)
Great customer service
I’m giving 5 stars because I am brand new at buying carnivorous plants and I don’t have anything to compare this experience to, but it is much smaller than what I thought I was getting. Definitely not like the picture. A little care pamphlet would have been helpful. It’s birthday present for my daughter in May, so I am hoping it will grow a little before then.
It arrived in fine shape.... it is tiny, so I'm watching to see if it remains healthy and growing. Thanks for this unusual plant!
Arrived in poor condition
