J was is very interested in all things carnivorous, and when he discovered that there were carnivorous plants he was so excited.  My parents gave him a terrarium and seed kit for his birthday a year and a half ago, and we finally planted them last September right after we moved.  Then we followed all the instructions and nothing happened.  For months.  He was so disappointed, we finally bought him a little Sundew plant from the Botanic Gardens.  The plant grew for awhile, and then it dried out (whoops) and died. 

We still have the terrarium sitting around, and the other day J took the top off and looked at the soil.  There were all sorts of green sprouts!  So almost fifteen months later, we finally have little tiny pitcher plants and venus flytraps growing.  Wow!
