Dionaea (Venus' Fly Trap)

Darwin called this "the most amazing plant in the world" when he was doing his research for his book "Insectivorous Plants." The leaves of this plant look like a bear trap and will rapidly close when the trigger hairs are stimulated. The Venus' Fly Trap is a particular favorite of young boys and girls and can be used as an effective way to interest them in nature.
