My First Carnivorous Plant

A local Carnivorus Plant Show was in a nearby town and I was amazed at the colors of these bug eating plants



This first Carnivorous Plant was so pretty I had to take a picture of what it was - seen below. Can you pronounce it? 






I can't image what this Cornivorous Plant above ate, look how big it is and the brown areas are the bugs or small mammals it ate. You can see one eating a mice on You Tube here. 
(I could not watch the end of it!) 



I came home with this Carnivorous Plant above to start my first one growing. I may get more in the future. We have yellow jackets on the deck and I was told this one would eat them up. You cannot water them with your tap water, they need rain or distilled water. 

Have you ever grown a Carnivorous Plant before or live near any?
