They can be green, green and red, or just red like the "Red dragon"

Yes, they do flower when grown in optimal conditions like outside in full sun, but they have to have experienced dormancy. Images of VFT flowers:

They are Perennials, but not necessarily evergreen or deciduous . Not evergreen because they will die back in areas that experience winters. They will drop their traps after the trap has fed which doesn't exactly classify them as deciduous. They are just perennials that dye back in the winter.

Their habitats are in marsh or boggy woodland areas in the southern parts of America, Australia, and Asia, just to name a few. Carnivorous plants can be found all over the world where there are similar growing conditions.

No, they are not threatened or endangered. They grow freely and are abundant.

carniverous plants are awesome.
do your own research on the basic stuff, but here is how they work:
usually green with some red, and often smell bad. that's to attract insects, such as flies. insects are lured into the "trap" which remains open until tactile stimulant is applied (till the bug touches it) they often have a sticky or waxy coating so the bug's feet get stuck, then the trap closes around the bug and the waxy coating, which is actually an enzyme, digests it while it's still alive.
once the bug is dead, digested and absorbed into the plant, the trap opens for the next unlucky bug.
how cool is that??

Its green initally but does have some red, and it doesnt sprout flowers it has actualy ckamps which close upon stimulation of a nerve like folical, and i dont think its threatened because theirs an abudent amount of them, but they seem more suited to tropical areas with large amounts of water as they eat flys and bugs
