Just a gallimaufry of photos 📸

Venus flytrap
FUN FACT

Although the Venus flytrap is a carnivorous plant, it cannot eat the same type of meat as humans. The plant turns black, rots, and dies if it’s fed a fast-food burger.

  6. Why anyone would consider eating a fast food burger is beyond me, let alone feed it to a Venus flytrap.

  23. I think we need the flytrap things here too to keep the flies away from the food for our feral kitties. The photos are all amazing!

  36. ...the clothes for Gawai Dayak are so colorful!

    ReplyDelete
  37. I'm not so sure that fast food does't harm humans as well as venus fly traps - "rots and dies if it’s fed a fast-food burger.", Ha ha. I like those colourful costumes Veronica.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Those outfits are outstanding. And how cool to see a Venus Flytrap in person. I've only seen them in cartoons!

  41. I love the costumes. So special colors! The only carnivorous plants I saw in the flower shops are those against mosquitoes.
    Those are drones I suppose. So many...
    Thank you for this new gallimaufry, Veronica!
    Happy Today and a fine week!❤️😘

  43. I love the Venus flytrap, shame that the want to feed it to feed it a burger!!!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  44. The clothing is amazing ..I love the colors. I've always thought I would have loved to live during a time and in a country where the clothes were so beautiful. Instead I was born in Kansas, the midwest...and now wear nothing but jeans and t-shirts in summer and flannel shirts and jeans in winter. I have no style at all lolol..

  45. Once again you've brought us a wonderful collection of pictures and some really interesting facts!

  46. Dearest Veronica,
    Slowly I'm getting back to reading (no more dizziness) and more strength for being awake. My weight is only 44.5 kg so I have a long way to recovery...
    Big hugs and loved those Borneo images!

  48. I've always been fascinated by the Venus Fly Trap. The photos are lovely and the information interesting about the fast food. The photos of the colorful beautiful outfits are wonderful and the children in the photos are adorable.

  49. Interesting to learn about the diet of the Venus Fly Trap, Veronica Lee, and it appears that the plant has more sense than some humans. Those colorful outfits are beautiful and I wondered how much care they would need for everyday wear. As always, dinner looked so delicious!

  50. Quite a variety, food, travel, clothes. I love it all.

  51. Amazing photo shoot with lots of different subjects. The plants look bit scary, but might be nice to help eliminate summer pesky insects. Hopefully, the bees stay away from them. Thanks for sharing with me.

  52. Interesting tidbit about the Venus flytrap. I never would have thought to try feeding it hamburger, haha. What some people won't think of. I wonder if anyone ever tried putting their finger in to see what would happen.
    Love all the Borneo outfits, and the kids are so cute.
    The mannequins there are interesting. They don't have faces or skin tones like the ones over here do.
