Well, I have some exciting news. I should also state for the record that Emilie is not as excited about this news as I am. Anyway, it looks like the Carpenter household will soon have another little mouth to feed. Several months ago I harvested part of a leaf from my flytrap and have been nurturing it to create a new plant. It finally started to grow some tiny new traps. Hopefully the coming months will see continued growth and health as I continue to try to force its mommy/daddy to go dormant.

Emilie doesn't care about my plants. I don't think she hates them. She's just completely indifferent about them.

I'll follow up later with pictures of the new plant and our awesome amaryllis.
