Thanks all I'm glad you like it , It takes care of itself in the winter Karen I've had this for several winters I put it in the cold greenhouse I take it out when the frosts have finished stand it in water and away it goes ,I've never seen it catch slugs though Lol ...

Fascinating - what part of it does the eating?
13 Jun, 2015
Yes it eats flies 3p Gill the foliage part not the flower has long tubes pointing upwards with something inside which attracts insects once they go inside they can't escape ...
