Venus flytrap flowers [OC]

My Venus flytrap has sprouted a long stem with some pretty little flowers at the end. The purpose of the long stem is to help keep pollinators away from the traps.

Very cool! I had a Venus flytrap as a kid, but it only lasted a few months. I think I played with it too much. I liked to trigger it.

Same. I didn't know until recently that you'll kill them if you water them with anything but distilled (rain) water.
