It certainly seems to be flourishing, John. Have you got a shot in which we can see a trapped fly?
Cheers.

Yes I have Philip, but it's utterly disgusting and doesn't make for a very pleasant image.

Well Aura, I am feeding it as best I can, and one day perhaps it will grow up into a monster of a plant....when we can't open the kitchen door we'll know we have a problem.
Best regards, John

It wouldn't surprise me what flies around some Macdonalds kitchens these days.

Don't expect to much from the flowers, they're a bit plain [I won't spoil it by giving away the colour!]. I always remove the flower stalk when it appears; my reasoning being, that energy won't be wasted in producing a flower. However, if you want a challenge, you can pollinate the flower, get seeds & be able to grow, new plants.
Are you watering with rain water, John? They don't like tap water.

Thanks for the tip RobS, I have been using tap water, so I'll change that. It's still been thriving, but it might do even better.
Best regards, John

It worked in that it greatly reduced the number of insects. In a couple of months it caught and consumed about five flies, nit a pretty sight.
Here's a picture of it close up using the macro setting on the Pentax WG-3.
