Bring a little wonder to your windowsill with Venus Flytrap, the famous carnivorous plant whose hinged traps snap shut on unlucky insects. A low rosette of trap-tipped leaves grows from the center, and in early spring mature plants send up stalks of small white flowers. It is a fascinating conversation starter for kids and adults alike, and a fun way to keep fungus gnats and small flies under control in your home. Give it a spot in strong light, such as a sunny window or under a grow light, and you will have a living science lesson on display.
