Ireland has 10 native killer plants

LAST week on this page I mentioned that on a trip to Kerry I had found a plant called the large-flowered butterwort and that it was carnivorous.

This prompted a bit of feed-back.

Some people were amazed there were carnivorous plants growing wild in Ireland because they associated them with the tropics. Other people wondered if the Venus flytrap, the best known carnivorous plant, grew wild in Ireland.
