The '''Venus Flytrap''' or ''Dionaea muscipula'' is a [[carnivorous]] [[plant]] native to a small region in [[North Carolina]]. The Venus Flytrap has fascinated people throughout history, including [[Thomas Jefferson]], who corresponded with [[Timothy Bloodworth]] in order to obtain [[seed]]s of this most unusual plant. It is hardy to zone 7, over wintering outside in central [[Virginia]] bog gardens, for instance. Flytraps grow well in the partial shade cast by the taller ''Sarrecania''. Flytraps are not recommended for indoor or terrarium culture, due to dormancy requirements. The all red Flytrap variety ''Akai Ryu'', meaning "Red Dragon" was developed at the Atlanta Botanical Garden. There are many different forms of Dionaea, many with unusual trap shapes. The plant's colors often change with light levels, seasons and temperatures. The Flytrap's [[spring]] growth is usually longer while late season growth is more compact.
