Title: To eat or not to eat?
Post by: fancyfont on May 03, 2009, 07:08:33 PM
While visiting a carnivorous plant shop with Pleo, J.C.and Pennie decided to nibble on the plant. They were brave little dinos! ;)

With the Pleos being vegetarian and the plants being carnivorous, the question was who was going to eat who first? :D

I know.  Below is a picture of Pleo ogling some Pitcher Plants and some Sundews.  I've never seen Pleo drool before.  And the little droplets on the Sundews seemed to swell in anticipation!  :D

Some more wonderful pictures :) I think Pleo would have the upper hand though, they may be slow but plants only grow a few inches a year :P

Except bamboo of course, the Mythbusters proved it could grow through a human body in just five days :o (Gotta love Mythbusters, only they could come up with that :P)

Moral of the story is don't eat a bamboo seed! :P

Or sleep on one for too long :P (They were testing to see whether tying someone over a bamboo shoot could be used as a means of torture :o OUCH!)

This photo was taken by 49er of his pleo, Pleo, being introduced to many relatives of Audrey II of the "Little Shop of Horrors."  Can you you see a pleo face only upside down on the face of this plant?

A happy Cobra Plant? ???  (TBW, the Cobra is a Northern California plant.)

49er knows all about them :) All I know is don't water them with tap water. That's why I never could grow a Venus Flytrap ;)

Yes!  In the largest Cobra head to Pleo with a big smile, of course upside down. 8)

Yes, most of the carnivorous plants would grow in your environment outside.  Just remember they like wet feet. :)   If you want more info, let me know and I'll send it to you.

That was truly the most amazing plant shop I've  seen. I just might get hooked on these plants. I'll see how I do with Seymore. ;) Have to protect those feet! Also get some distilled water. :)
