Became interest in CP

How I became intersest in growing CP was that I've seen many VFT throughout many places. So one day I decide purchased one, a VFT (common). Ever since then, I continued to study and grow these weird plants.
 
my love for them was when i was a kid in the local grocerie store,the venus flytrap that eats hamburger? i was amazed!! and only a buck fifty.and they always died on me,now i know why!

muhahhaha.... she was kinda right i never got one i got more than one wahahaha...
 
I was getting annoyed with flies that would fly into my flat and just head straight for the centre of my living room and fly in a triangular formation.
I thought of getting a chemical flytrap to hang up by the lampshade but wasn't to happy about the chemical element, so I popped down to Homebase so see if VFT's really worked.

I bought a VFT & a Capensis and left them on my windowsil and although it didn't catch the flies in my room, they did catch others.

I took a trip to Kew Gardens in London soon after, and whilst looking around the consevatory, there was this small area which housed CP's.

That was that really. I was stunned by them and from there started to take a serious interest in them.
