Welcome to the Dope, sportstime23. You’ll find that people here will be more enthusiastic about participating in conversations with you if you use real words and avoid texting abbreviations. Also, if you make an initial effort to help yourself (Google is your friend), you’ll find a lot of very knowledgeable people here who’d be thrilled to delve into the details with you.
I’m told the plant’s real name is “Gordon Sims”, but seriously dude, chill out.
Not to be a meanie or anything, but I smell homework.
The general rule is that you’re allowed ONE bump of your thread. So far, you have bumped your thread three times today.
Another general rule is that we don’t do homework for you. You’re going to have to dig up your own myths and sources.
If you bump this thread again I’m gonna lock it.

Nah, the timing’s all wrong. It’s Friday; he’d have until Monday. No need for such a big rush.
Charles Darwin was rather impressed with them. 
The first plant to be suspected to be carnivorous.
From North Carolina, where it grows among pines, it has been naturalized in the Florida panhandle; attempts have been made in New Jersey. One would think it would do well in the Pine Barrens.
I don’t know of any myths.
I wonder if this is the same person.
See, here i thought it was all about getting into some girl’s pants.
Audrey’s not worth it, man!
There is no way I would go out with a girl with a nether region like a Venus Fly Trap. Maybe that’s the advice the OP is looking for. I wouldn’t do it because once she closes up tight, the only thing that will free you is the total digestion.

I have never run across Venus Flytrap lore, and that is the type of stuff I always am on the lookout for. It has olny been known around the World for a short time and is a North American exclusive to the lowlands around swamps in Carolina.
Excerpt:
In 1763 Governor Arthur Dobbs of North Carolina, was the first person to describe the plant which he named ‘Fly Trap Sensitive’ and which later became known as the Venus Flytrap. A few years later, specimens were sent to England, where it was the first plant ever suspected of being carnivorous.

I feel your only source of lore is going to be tales from aboriginal tribesof the Carolinas.
This is General Questions where people are asked to behave a bit.
That is a paraphrase from my source above, Peter D’Amato’s Savage Garden.
Well, here’s another tidbit, though I suppose the OP has passed his presentation due at this point: Here in NC, there was a call by U-Haul Rentals to have certain important aspects of the state highlighted on their trailers. NC has a lot of astute botanists, and some specializing in carnivorous plants native here—sarracenia and flytraps, flytraps being especially localized here. The specialization was submitted, lobbied for, and U-Haul trailers originating in NC now sport huge graphics of Venus Flytraps on their rentals. Pretty cool to my Bot mind, and I love it when I see one flying down the Interstate.
