#cpclubthursday CP CLUB THURSDAY for November 7, 2024
β€œBecause if it’s Thursday, it’s Carnivorous Plants Club! β€œ
Welcome to #cpclubthursday
🌟NOW ALMOST 230 MEMBERS !🌟

Just sharing some flower photos as my sundews start to flower again and one of my favorite VFT, Pinky Gossamer, produces not one but two flower stalks and I found one had flowered earlier today! And some sticky forked sundews to complete this round of photos.


I have seen some great CPs being shared by #cpclubthursday these week so thanks for including the hashtag to alert other members to your posts!

I have also added many posts about the conditions and care of various CPs in previous #cpclubthursday so I recommend people follow the hashtag, may of them also have my own group #seymour so may be easier to find there.

Add any interesting Carnivorous Plant (CP) facts, photos, or anything CP-related for this week.

Or ask a question of our members related to CPs
Join the CP just by clicking the link #cpclubthursday and clicking join. That is all it takes! Too easy! Shall we make it to 230 or more members? There is already a wealth of CP info so why not just join our growing CP community at #cpclubthursday!

Happy Chompys 😊πŸͺ°πŸ¦ŸπŸš«

@Seymour #Seymour What intrigues me is how some of the VFT flower stalks go almost horizontal (presumably to get as much light as it can?) I love the β€œpink blush” on this VFT.
And a row of forked sundews in front of some normal cape sundews.
Very pretty @Seymour
I saw an interesting post in my Instagram feed about VFT's that they can count and have a sense of time.

In nature, they would of course be exposed to the elements of rain or wind but these don't necessarily trigger the traps to close. The hairs need to be touched at least twice within 30 minutes for them to close.

I think there was something else about what's needed to trigger the digestive enzymes but the feed refreshed before I got to the end and I couldn't find the post after. But pretty neat to learn they have a kind of sentience!
@ballondusoleil Hey Geraldine, I added some videos along those lines in the comments here

I’ll add my budding beauty to the mix! Can’t wait to see what she has to show off!
@Blueberrypie I find it incredible how long and tall the VFT and other CPs flower stalks can get! Your budding beauty is a good example ! It’s like she has decided to go to the middle of your growlight to emphasize her bloom when it come. Great photo so thanks for sharing πŸ˜€πŸ‘
