George the Second

For about 2 years, George the 1st lived in the crack at the top right corner of the kitchen window. We watch George the 1st feasted on bugs and flies and grew bigger through the two years. It was a comfort to see that George the 1st kept the summer flies under control. One day, we found George the 1st lying dead on the kitchen bench. We called our good friends and told them the sad news but they laughed so hard!!! One night, we heard a knock on the door, it was our friends. They had turned up with a replacement for George the 1st, which we named George the 2nd. George the 2nd has since taken over the task of George the 1st and is doing a great job in keeping the flies population down, and is flourishing with the feed. The White flowers from the clusters of buds are quite breathtaking.

George the 1st was a spider and George the 2nd is a fly trap plant!
