I didn't know any carnivorous plants were native to the US! That's amazing.

    The US has most of them! In fact, more than half of the world's species of carnivorous plants are native to the coastal swamps and lowland Sandhills along the Carolina border. We've got pitcher plants, sundews, and the poster child of the bunch, the Venus Flytrap.

    That's tremendous! I had no idea!

    You've made my day. I assumed they came from a tropical rainforest.

    I'm embarrassed to say that I learned about it via Fallout 76 but there are some really cool carnivorous plants in North America. Sundews are some of my fave.

    Pitchers, sundews, and flytraps are all endemic! Super cool. There are actually even more than this that have some really interesting mechanisms, including underwater ones!
