Oops
I'll bet a bunch of you know what it means, but could you please tell me? ???
Because I have no idea.
 
Well, that is rated R. The clean version goes, they named it Venus because Venus was the goddess of beauty and they thought this plant was "beautiful".
 
:-))

I had completely forgotten about this.
 
We'll tell you when you're older. :D

You really don't wanna know. (Weird botanists...)
 
Chomp, there is a page on that on a pretty well known website, but you really don't need to know that right now.

okay, I understand... I didn't realize it was anything like that.

Every one try and forget all about it!

Well, Venus was the Roman goddess of love (hence the term, venereal) and it may have something to do with lonely, heat-stroke-deranged, field-bound botanists "hallucinating" that Dionaea's trapping leaves resembled women's . . . um, er . . . naughty bits ("tipitiwitchets"); again, I can't help but wonder about the particular company they had been keeping . . .
