A Plant Worthy of Harry Potter

With a name like Butterwort, one would expect to find it clinging to a corner of the castle at Hogwarts (The fictional castle in J.K. Rowling's famous series Harry Potter).

Butterwort Plant

Butterworts may appear plain & sort of cute in appearance. But they aren't. It's name comes from the buttery, sticky, greasy stuff that covers the leaves, which it uses to trap prey in the same way fly paper catches flies.

Wicked Slime & Acid

Insects become stuck in the leaf's sticky slime coating, then the acid of the slime helps the plant to digest the nutrients of the insects bodies. Sorta makes me think plants aren't always as nice as they appear.

Tip: How To Make Snapdragons Stand Straight & Rigid in a Vase

Like many long stemmed flowers, Snapdragons at times grow all curvy. (Which sometimes is a fun look) There's a super simple trick to getting the stems to stand straight-as-a-board: 1. Clip off about two inches from the bottom of the stem and place in your vase of water. 2. Pinch off a nubbins from the top tip of the flower. (About a fourth inch.) 3. Let the stems soak in the water for a few hours. After that- you'll see how straight the stems become. It's magical! We sell flowers from our coolers that you can take home and arrange yourself. Stop by today to get some.
