About The Tipperty Twitchet Co
Welcome to The Tipperty Twitchet Co, your gateway to the captivating world of Venus fly traps. Based in Scunthorpe, United Kingdom, we are passionate about these unique carnivorous plants and dedicated to sharing their wonder with enthusiasts of all ages.
Our Passion Ignited
Our journey with Venus fly traps began over a decade ago, sparked by an irresistible fascination with their remarkable ability to catch insects. We owe a great debt of gratitude to Matt Soper of Hampshire Carnivorous Plants, whose generous advice and expertise were crucial in those early days. It was through his guidance that we truly caught the bug, discovering the incredible diversity and subtle differences between each unique variety.
Inspiring a New Generation
We aim to inspire people of all ages to explore the fascinating world of carnivorous plants. Contrary to popular belief, they are surprisingly easy to care for, provided a few fundamental rules are followed. Venus fly traps, in particular, captivate children, and we delight in hearing their enthusiastic discussions about these extraordinary plants.
Our Curated Approach
Our collection is built on a foundation of personal attraction. We meticulously select only those plants that truly catch our eye, ensuring that each specimen is not just a part of a collection, but a chosen treasure. This selective approach guarantees a unique and thoughtfully curated display of Venus fly traps.
