Would you like to name a Venus Fly Trap?
Introducing "Pinky Gossamer!"π ππΈπΈπ€©πππ 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 π π
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! Thanksπ
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?!?

@Seymour Rosy!
@RootsnShoots yes, my cheeks are...but what's your question LOL ππ
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 ππ π€£ππ You need to bask in the recent joint naming π Pinky Gossamer π π

@RootsnShoots check Pinky Gossamer's last reply on that post π π€£
@LikableDamiana yes, she seems to think so LOL it is a good name, a bit like Poison Ivy π π€£ π 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 π π π π Aleah's a nice name but maybe not for a gorgeous VFT ππ...there was some interesting suggestions...and dialogue
@LikableDamiana Aleah, at least the name wasn't Peaky Blinders, if you know the TV show LOL π§’π‘πͺ
@Seymour thanks π 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 π But I remain intrigued by LikeableDamiana...but being intrigued and mystery can sometimes be a good thing ππ€π
Sometimes I wouldn't mind a dull moment..ππ

@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...

@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 Seymourβ¦.its a Carnivorous Plant ππ
@signorebean hahaha Tristan π π π€£ 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 π

@Seymour everyone that knows the movie I imagine
@Darkprincess True but then how many people know Audrey 2 is the product of a butterwort? π€
@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 π€ π

@Seymour ooooh really? Iβm gonna go on a deep dive now
@Darkprincess I added a hint above...
@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 π)
@Seymour , love it!!! Suits her so well.

@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 ππππ
@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?
@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!!! πππππ

@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 πΎ 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 π π πππand who knew there was a color Gossamer Pink- what are the odds! Thanks for joining the fun! πππ€©ππππΎβΊοΈππ€£
@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 π π€£ π πΉ
