Hi,
(I got a comment from Matt and he suggested I post this here)
I live in Miami and have 2 venus fly traps sitting on my windowsill. I feed them rainwater and they are thriving.....they both just flowered, but one of the plants flowering stalk was extra long and now that the flowers have shrivelled off (with 17 flowers!), and I noticed there are many small 'venus fly trap heads' growing in the middle of the stalk in 2 different places. Right now I'm counting (5 heads that I can see). I've been searching for this phenomenon on different blogs and was wondering if this happens to all plants? Also, how exactly would I cut and plant these (so they grow into new plants)?
Thanks! Here is a photo:
