Well, it’s a Fern. I don’t know how or from where the spore managed to set roots in my little VFT pot, but I haven’t had the heart to weed it out. I’m sure I should st least separate them though....

What Are Venus Flytraps Doing With Magnetic Fields? | GIZMODO
a Venus flytrap’s “jaw”—really a specialized leaf—and when the team turned up the heat, the jaw summoned the energy to try to close. In that moment, a magnetic field emanated from the trap.

The field was picked up on an atomic magnetometer

....this reminded me — I need to check on my neglected Venus flytrap in the Garage V8 Nursery, and see If it’s survived the last week of super cold.... I might bring it inside now since it has had the chance to experience a bit of “winter chill” — certainly should be sufficient now — lengthening daylight is another reason to coax some of these to start waking up.

We still have good deal of snow on the ground outside — chance to collect some for watering the VFT. :D
