The mysteries of the venus flytrap
Update: 2023-09-05
Description
South Carolina lawmakers recently named the Venus Flytrap the state’s official carnivorous plant. The law places the plant in a category that includes the state bird (the Carolina Wren), state flower (the yellow jasmine), state fruit (the peach), state tree (the palmetto), and even the state snack (the boiled peanut).
Trent Miller is plant collection manager at the South Carolina Botanical Garden. He’s going to talk about the flytrap and why it grows natively in only one small sliver of the Carolinas. He’s also going to talk about other plants that are unique to the Palmetto State.
