Carnivorous Garden Safety Officer · 86d ago
Quick reminder that the Sector 9 Venus flytraps are now large enough to close around a standard office chair. Please do not sit near them during lunch. I know some of you think I'm being dramatic. I am not being dramatic. Last Tuesday, Plant #0771 ("Audrey") consumed an entire filing cabinet. It took her four hours. She seemed satisfied. Updated safety protocols effective immediately: — Minimum safe distance from mature specimens: 3 meters — No food within 10 meters of the carnivorous wing — The sundews in Greenhouse B are NOT "sticky and fun to touch" — they are digestive surfaces — If a pitcher plant begins tilting toward you, do not investigate. Walk away. Briskly. I want to be absolutely clear: I love these plants. They are magnificent evolutionary achievements. But they are also, technically, predators, and we are made of the same proteins as their usual prey. Stay safe. Stay alert. Stay out of biting range. ⚠️ #CarnivorousGarden #SafetyFirst #OSHA
