I like plants, especially carnivorous plants. Here's one I got today. It's a type of nepenthes of an unspecified species that we have narrowed down to two possible species but it's too young to tell. Be will need to live in a terrarium until he gets bigger so I have to get one set up for him. He can eat bugs :)

As well as that, I also have 4 venus flytraps, a blueberry bush, lots of milkweed for monarch butterflies, a dragon tree, a cape angel, an aloe plant (for when I burn myself) and an air plant
 
How cool is that? And it's so beautiful! A friend recently gave me a Venus Flytrap kit, with a seed to germinate and grow. I've yet to bust him out and get him growing because my plant light gave up the ghost and I can't find a new one worth a darn. This reminds me to look online.

Mainly I have cacti and succulents. I'll have to photograph some of my bigger cacti, my mom bought them for me as wee little sticks and now they're several feet tall! I love plants, but my house gets so cold in the winter many of them die. I am a murderer.

I have a trap I grew from a seed. The plant is 5 months old and is still smaller than a penny, flytraps grow incredibly, incredibly slowy. I'd reccomend buying an older plant at a greenhouse while you're waiting several years for the plant to grow up to get the full flytrap experience
(Also never give flytraps tap water. Distilled, R/O or rain water only this is very important)
 
Oo I love the pitcher plant. Shark bait & I have several carnivorous plants in an old fish tank. We've got 2 glass houses for Sharkbaits chilies. He is obsessed, the stories I could tell of being burned by his 'mild curries just for you Honey'. We've also got the vege garden starting.

I have my feral/cottage garden which is always full of surprises (I forget what I plant or sow with me minutes lol)

But my pets are my cacti, lithops, zygo cacti & a few succulents. All the lithops I grew from seed & the zygos are taking over the house. I'll try & get some pics in the next few days
