I love carnivorous plants. They feel so different from typical houseplants. I think they would look at home alongside dinosaurs. They're also useful for keeping annoying fungus gnats at bay...

I have always bought plants, at great expense, and thought I would try growing them from seed. The internet provided some success stories and relatively simple instructions.

What amazed me was that the seeds are tiny! So small that I felt compelled to get some pictures of them under the microscope. All images are taken at the same zoom level, and the strand in each image is a human hair, ~60µm or 0.06 mm
