DBlume bought my son a Venus Flytrap plant. You'd think he won the lottery, he was so happy.

DBlume also took my kids to see the Bison while we were in Golden Gate Park. Had fresh Jackfruit too. WAY BETTER than durian.

DBlume is going to post what my son wrote on his calendar yesterday at the daddy blog, when I get back home. OK, I'll transcribe it here:

DBlume transcribes, "We got a Venus Flytrap pet."

pastilla gives unasked-for advice: VFT need a lot of humidity. Re-planting in a terrarium increases the chances they will survive and flourish.

DBlume says pastilla, Thank you. I'm concerned about that.

pastilla says I killed two (following internet advice). My mother told me 1" gravel/2-3" vermiculite in a glass terrarium (oversized brandy snifter)

pastilla says as long as you can see water in the gravel, the soil will be moist enough, (and the sloped sides of the snifter keeps the plant hydrated)
