Little Shop of Horrors?

Did you know the Green Swamp of Brunswick County is home to the Venus flytrap? This endangered plant is native to Southeastern North Carolina. I believe the plant became well known as the star of the 80’s movie Little Shop of Horrors.

Of course there are no 8 foot plants eating steaks for dinner, but they can be found in the wild eating on spiders and other insects. Individuals can purchase them from nurseries or may easily see the unique plants at the Ft. Fisher Aquarium.
