Feed me Seymour! Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 (edited) Everytime around this time of year my flytraps send up a flower - why? Surely there is no point to a flower this time of year? Anyone else get this? As soon as I cut the flower stalks off they go to sleep for the winter!! Do they Do this in the wild do you know?

FlytrapCare Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 I've only had that happen with one plant last October. I'm not sure what causes or if they do it in the wild. I would guess that they do from time to time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trev Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 I've picked off about 20 in the last week - always get a few in the autumn but this year is exceptional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had this happen several times in the past -- and have also seen it in the field over the years. It may have to do with a longer photo-period or a particularly extended period of warmer weather. This year I have had single plants send up multiple flower stalks, the last seen a week or so ago . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
