Gobble Guts – that’s how some people refer to carnivorous plants Down Under. I thought it was cute.
Perhaps the comic touch makes them seem a little less macabre. Gobble Guts, Jungle Jaws, whatever … I love them all.
What fun it must be to have a CP garden in Australia.
With so many CPs being native to the country and the numerous CP suppliers Down Under, your only problem must be to stop your CP plants from colonizing the garden.
I found a couple of stalls offering CPs at the Melbourne Flower and Garden show. As expected, the prices varied.
So, as with everything else, it pays to do a price comparison, but I don’t suppose these words of wisdom can be heard when all those Gobble Guts start calling out for attention.
I tried to persuade my Melbourne-based friend to get a pot of CPs. “They’re adorable,” I said. “You’ll love them.” But she wasn’t convinced; maybe the term ‘Gobble Guts’ just isn’t cute enough. 😀
Towards the tail end of my holidays, I came across another CP stall at weekend market. The prices seemed more competitive, but I could be wrong. After visiting innumerable shops and stalls from Melbourne to Mornington, I couldn’t be sure anymore.
Can anyone tell me how to feed and care for my gobble guts ?
hi karen. just sit it in a dish of shallow water. you can pop an insect into the pitchers every now and then.
Wow looking great. I am just loving it… Thanks for sharing these nice pics….
