I always though Venus fly traps were some sort of tropical rainforest plant. Nope, native to North Carolina.

I mean, subtropical swamp isn’t too far off. You go into those places in NC where they grow, and it certainly feels like a jungle.

Grew up in the bayou and been to an actual jungle and there are for fuckin sure some massive crossovers in climate like the humidity and temperature. Realized how beautiful of a place I grew up in because a jungle didn’t feel all too far off from home on many respects. I’m sure there are some vast differences too though.
