The Longleaf Pine forest in North Carolina is home to the Venus Flytrap!🪰 While flytraps are cultivated throughout the world, they are native to only a small area of the coastal plain in North and South Carolina. This carnivorous plant loves the Longleaf Pine forests because it is also a fire-dependent species!🔥 Controlled burning gives them an edge when competing with other shrubby species for nutrients, space, and sunlight. Venus flytraps come back quickly, sometimes within a few days after
