    Hi
    I want to buy one of those Venus Fly Trap plants. I'm new to the Southside so don't know where the nearest garden centre is to me.
    Leopardstown/Sandyford/Foxrock area?

    I think I saw them in Woodies in Carrickmines at the weekend. You could also try Woodies in Sandyford.

    There is also a garden centre in cornelscourt village, as well as a garden centre in the Dunnes Stores in Cornelscourt (no idea how good Dunnes is).

    I bought one that lasted 4 years. The trick is to keep them well bathed in water, they'll look after foodstuff's themselves. Enjoy it, it's a particularly bizarre plant and very ... 'entertaining' for want of a better word.

    Just came across this little collection of seeds for 10 varieties of carnivorous plants. Thinking of getting them...

    I got two about 1 month ago in woodies, from advice here i have kept them soaked in rain water, they are doing well as they were not in great shape when i bought them, one of them has sprouted what looks like a seed pod shoot. They seem to drop off but grow new jaws very quickly.
