“Billy & Sarah”: The Terrible Triffids 

Which of the three designs do you like most? Do tell.

...

Lurking deep in the humid and swampy wilderness of the tropics, lay an ancient plant sprouted from the days after the dinosaurs rule ended and the early paleogene: The Triffids. Triffids are sought after their oils that they naturally secrete. Used for medical reasons. Because of their rarity and such, they are placed under protection by laws. Only the wealthy are able to purchase them. Regular thorn in the duo’s sides, Dianne Darlin, makes a purchase of a few of these magnificent exotic (and dangerous) plants for her private garden. One night during a meteor shower, being watched by a large majority of the Oak River residents, are rendered temporarily blind by the light show for the following several days. Things get worse when Diane’s plants are soon on the move for food. They quickly reproduce and spread all over town. Sightless people making the perfect easy meal for them. Billy and Sarah, and other select few, do their best to make sure that none of the people don’t become a plant’s snack... After the incident a few manage to escape into the Oak River wilderness of the area making them another weird addition to the local wildlife. Their population kept under control now by the more sturdy of the herbivores, the BoGr'ong: (https://www.deviantart.com/artmakerproductions/art/BaS-218-New-Arrivals-4-4-877460363).

So, for a commission for @clingynepenthes I made a Nepenthes (read: Pitcher plant) combined with a Yateveo (carnivorous tree). A bit jank, but they liked it! 

The right one's the final version, the left's an earlier iteration, I'm curious which y'all might like more!

Venus Fly Trap

The Venus Fly Trap is a carnivorous plant native to wetlands in North and South Carolina. Usual prey for this plant includes insects and arachnids.

The Venus Fly Trap attracts prey using sweet nectar. When insects come to feed trigger hairs cause an electrical charge to close the trap, the plants interlocking 'teeth' form a cage. As the insect continues to struggle the trap seals and digestive enzymes dissolve the prey's soft tissues. The trap absorbs the soupy mixture and, after about a week, the trap reopens.
