Would you like to name a Venus Fly Trap?

Introducing "Pinky Gossamer!"😍 πŸ’“πŸ•ΈπŸ•ΈπŸ€©πŸ’–πŸ’—πŸ’‹ recently named!
The question now is would anyone like to help name another Venus fly trap for me? Shall it be a new posting Group? Let me know below as I have at least one smaller VFT without a name yet.
Yes "Pinky Gossamer was chosen as the best combination of two suggested names and suits her pink lashes so well πŸ’— πŸ’–
Thanks to all those who helped name her, especially Charlotte and Geraldine who came up with suggestions that, in combination, worked! Couldn't have named her so well without you two making your individual suggestions!
And to all the others who know who they are and how much effort they put into the names. Really appreciate it and it made it so difficult to settle on a name! Thanks😊
With sooo many good suggestions, it was a bit overwhelming but think we had a bit of fun along the way. Like listening to Barry Manilow or admiring Jessica Rabbit..where do you ever find such a combination?!?

Looking forward to it @Seymour! Hope you'll also consider a hashtag for Pinky G and your other VFT once named? I do not want miss out on any of the fun! Thanks for bringing a lot of joy to this already amazing community πŸ‘πŸ½

Great name❣️
Yes, if was a joint effort and there was a lot of help...but it really suits πŸ‘Œ πŸ‘ thanks RoseRed. Another option offered was Alexis Rose..which was under serious consideration. Maybe RoseRed for a red variety of VFT? πŸ€” πŸ˜‰ πŸ˜…
@Seymour Rosy!
@RootsnShoots yes, my cheeks are...but what's your question LOL πŸ˜‰πŸ˜„
Remember this isn't a name suggestion post, at least not this one...you may need to rein in your enthusiasm for name selecting LOL πŸ˜†πŸ˜…πŸ€£πŸ‘ŒπŸ‘ You need to bask in the recent joint naming πŸ˜‰ Pinky Gossamer πŸ’– πŸ’‹
@RootsnShoots check Pinky Gossamer's last reply on that post πŸ˜† 🀣
What a perfect name she's a gorgeous VFT!
@LikableDamiana yes, she seems to think so LOL it is a good name, a bit like Poison Ivy πŸ˜† 🀣 πŸ˜‚ There is so many cultivator names but pink lashes is a bit more exotic...and Pinky Gossamer certainly has a personality judging from her postings LOL πŸ˜† πŸ˜„ πŸ˜‰ 😊 Aleah's a nice name but maybe not for a gorgeous VFT πŸ˜‰πŸ˜‰...there was some interesting suggestions...and dialogue
@LikableDamiana Aleah, at least the name wasn't Peaky Blinders, if you know the TV show LOL πŸ§’πŸ—‘πŸͺ“
@Seymour thanks 😊 I like my name too. My mom did a good job lol I did read some of the dialogue and there's never a dull moment when you're around.
@LikableDamiana Yes Aleah is nice...and the name LOL πŸ˜† But I remain intrigued by LikeableDamiana...but being intrigued and mystery can sometimes be a good thing πŸ‘πŸ€”πŸ˜€
Sometimes I wouldn't mind a dull moment..πŸ˜‰πŸ˜‰
@LikableDamiana see what I mean...
I love Pinky!!!
@alltheplantsplz if you go to the link below, Kelly, she is just as likely to love you back LOL πŸ˜† 😘

Audrey 3! Is there really any other option?
@Darkprincess you'd be surprised Wendy, you should see some of the suggestions offered last time...but this isn't a name selection yet, just an indication of any interest...
https://greg.app/question/rt0lz/can-you-give-me-a-pretty-name-please-i-have-lovely-pink-lashes-hi-there-darlings-im-a-venus-fly-trap
@Darkprincess although personally I have a bit of a bias towards Audrey 3...ultimately its the Venus fly trap that decides on the name as you will see from the link above for the last VFT
@Seymour your name is Seymour….its a Carnivorous Plant πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
AHHHH she’s so beautiful! πŸ₯ΊπŸ€© Definitely aptly named, I love her little pink tinges here and there among the greeny yellowy purpleys πŸ‘‘βœ¨ If you actually put those eyelashes on her I swear to god πŸ₯ΉπŸ€£ Would she try to eat them do you think? 😬πŸ₯²
@Darkprincess Indeed
But how many people remember Audrey 1?πŸ˜‰πŸ˜‰
@signorebean hahaha Tristan πŸ˜† πŸ˜‚ 🀣 she has quite the personality to match the name...
How's your own CP or VFT research going...
Almost forgot but I was searching for cacti information and your favourite supplier duo popped up on my screen πŸ‘€

@Seymour everyone that knows the movie I imagine
My Audrey enjoying the eclipse
@Darkprincess True but then how many people know Audrey 2 is the product of a butterwort? πŸ€”
@Darkprincess hahaha what a great photo, Wendy
so long as she doesn't say feed me, feed me...

And how many people know who invented the name Wendy πŸ€” πŸ™„
@Seymour ooooh really? I’m gonna go on a deep dive now
@Darkprincess I added a hint above...
😍😍😍 What a Beauty! Perfect name β€œPinky” πŸ™ŒπŸ™ŒπŸ™ŒπŸ™Œ
@Macstracks hahaha Chris, you can see how much fun VFTs can be! It was an unusual name for a cultivator but as it turned out, it added a bit of fun. How Homer going (I hope you don't mind if I say D'oh, etc πŸ˜†)
I see how it certainly can be interesting and fun! Homer is doing great. He enjoyed the outdoors the other day. Got him back to humidity levels and he’s just thriving lol. It’s almost like he had a cup of coffee and a dozen donuts for breakfast. πŸ˜πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
@Macstracks Woo Hoo!!! πŸ₯³πŸŽ‰
@Seymour , love it!!! Suits her so well.
🩷 πŸ•ΈοΈ
@Seymour I know about my name lol I was referring to the butterwort comment
Hey Wendy, did you know HOW he came up with the name and full marks if you did:
The name was inspired by young Margaret Henley, daughter of Barrie's poet friend W. E. Henley. Margaret reportedly used to call Barrie "my friendy", with the common childhood difficulty pronouncing Rs this came out as "my fwendy" and "my fwendy-wendy"
@JesssJungle Thanks Jess, there was a consideration of Pinky...last name Fandango but then it started getting a bit complicated...and she is a bit precious πŸ’žπŸ’•πŸ’•πŸ’•
@Darkprincess There's reasons for the butterwort reference but it is really just a bit of trivia for fans of the movie, etc. I have a friend called Wendy, hence I tend to like the name and she was the one who told me the origins...which is just as well. Just goes to show how we can make up names and they can last. Enjoy Wendy! I guess I can put your name down if we name another VFT?
She’s a gorgeous gal 🩷 πŸŽ€πŸ’‹
@itsjordan yes, she is although she does tend to get very chatty, even with her announcement in the previous posting you saw LOL
But definitely gorgeous and now with a gorgeous name Pinky Gossamer
P.S. I really enjoyed your eclipse post, so good that your plants provided a public service announcement to get it started!!! πŸ˜€πŸŒ‘πŸŒ—πŸŒ–πŸŒ•
@Seymour πŸ˜πŸ˜πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
So glad my childhood love of Looney Tunes cartoons helped create a name for your Pink Lashes VFT! 🀣πŸ₯° and I'm so looking forward to seeing how the naming process goes for your next plant!
@ballondusoleil so am I, Geraldine, can you imagine how impossible Pinky Gossamer would have been without a good name but she has replied to you and likes your name day so she's be celebrating it in style 🍾 each and every year l! Another good idea Geraldine and there has a been a positive response to her little sister naming, please join in the fun if and whem it happens πŸ˜€ 😊 πŸ’—πŸ’–πŸ‘and who knew there was a color Gossamer Pink- what are the odds! Thanks for joining the fun! πŸ‘πŸ˜πŸ€©πŸ’•πŸ’—πŸ’–πŸΎβ˜ΊοΈπŸ˜„πŸ€£
@ballondusoleil So do I Geraldine and I might do the hashing, even if it ends up just being you and me in the group...and maybe Pinky Gossmer πŸ˜† 🀣 πŸ˜‚ 😹
@ballondusoleil @RootsnShoots
Come and meet Chompy, he is like Pinky Gossamer only...only...Chompy

@LikableDamiana @JesssJungle @itsjordan @LaSiguanaba @Darkprincess @alltheplantsplz


Just letting you all know there's a new naming group called #helpmenamemyplant Corrine has created that you can now join in case you wish to continue the fun! πŸ˜€πŸ‘ŒπŸ˜Š
