  • Yep, definatly not a venus flytrap...  But I'll tell you what I think it is...  It or should I say they look like a Salvia species and the possible square stems and the light veins would suggest Salvia divinorum.  This species if it is that is normaly propagated from cuttings and hardly ever seed.  Interesting...image

    Has anyone been able to identify this? I have a similar looking plant that has also grown from what claimed to be Venus flytrap seeds. I would really like to know what this is its started budding in the last few days

    The more I keep looking at them the more I think they are something edible, as I don't grow many small plants, other than herbs. Like blairs I also think they look like mint, but no smell reported.

    BL4Z3, how fast are they growing?

    Hi thanks for the responses. I havent check to see if theres any fragrance to the leaves but the plant itself doent give off any fragrance. I planted the seed in mid june this year and the plant is now approx 30cm high. In the last 5 days or so its got loads of yellow buds on it at the end of the stems. Whatever it is it likes lots of water as I've been watering it every couple of days (as per instructions for the pack). Any more ideas will be gratefully recieved!
