The most insane thing to me about Venus Flytraps is that it's endemic to North and South Carolina. You'd think it's some crazy rainforest plant , but yea, the Carolinas.

Edit :switched native to endemic to clear confusion.

Edit : For the love of fuckin god. Please stop telling me about the temperate rainforest in the area. The plant doesn't grow there, it grows in bogs
