Question
i got one of these great cp last year and it seems to be about to send up a flower stork is it like Dionaea? that is to say best not to let flower? any help would be great many thanks ps it is in a large pot with 6 fully grown traps it gets morning sun and is also kept out side here in the uk all year round with protection from winter extremes

Answer
Hello Kevin,

I have several Dionaea that are flowering now, one that has flowered for four years consecutively without problem. The key is getting the plant what it needs to survive and thrive, then natural functions of the plant, like flowering, occur without difficulty. It sounds like your Cephalotus follicularis is doing fine and likes the environment you have provided it enough to flower. As long as it gets what it needs and keeps growing normally, you will not have to fix what is not broken.
