Yes, it is supposed to flower. Don't be concerned and just enjoy the flowers.
Reply:Yes, they do flower, and that means they are healthy enough to reproduce. Good job! They will live in very boggy conditions in full sun, but MUST stay at least moist at all times. I leave mine out all summer so they may catch all they need to eat. When it turns cold, I bring mine in and feed inside, keeping in bright light.
Reply:Have you noticed how clever nature is? How the flower grows on a really long stem a long way from the traps so that insects that visit don't then get eaten? Marvellous. Probably won't get seeds unless another plant nearby, I don't think they're self fertile
Reply:Just like any other flowering plant, they do this to reproduce. If the flowers are pollinated, they will produce seed which will grow into cute little baby flytraps :) You might want to put it outside for a little while to encourage a little bee to help the process.





My mom used to have one.. They're very interesting plants to have. But hers never flowered, I guess it wasn't healthy enough...
