The US has most of them! In fact, more than half of the world’s species of carnivorous plants are native to the coastal swamps and lowland Sandhills along the Carolina border. We’ve got pitcher plants, sundews, and the poster child of the bunch, the Venus Flytrap.

That’s tremendous! I had no idea!
You’ve made my day. I assumed they came from a tropical rainforest.
Venus fly traps are actually only in the US. The Carolinas specifically.
Some do, but most of them are found right here in the flopsweat belt between Carowinds and Calabash.
