Hello Alex,
ReplyDeleteThose are really good facts for the venus flytrap and the pitcher plant. I definitely will try to remember these!
It is very unusual that a venus flytrap open and closes like a human. Also, it is so interesting that the pitcher plant can feed and kill it's poor prey. It sounds like they have a whole other mind.
What is your favourite plant?
Happy Blogging

Hi again Alex,
ReplyDeleteWell done for completing this activity. I finished this activity too. It's great to see you completing these activities during these summer holidays. Thanks for sharing your learning about this activity. Did you enjoy doing this task? Why? The 2 plants that you have selected are awesome. I love the facts that you have listed too.
NICE:)
Good morning Alex!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe the Summer Learning Journey is almost over. I didn't know much about the pitcher plant! That's really interesting how they trap their ants. Have you seen the venus flytrap in the Wintergardens at Auckland domain?
It's been a pleasure blogging with you, Alex!
