My partner bought me a venus flytrap seed box-I have planted it in soil for carnivorous plants. And this has grown but it looks nothing like any venus flytrap pictures that I have found.

Well... It isn't a flytrap, but it is a Drosophyllum lusitanicum, it looks like! I think I see small heads forming, already. These are carnivorous, but in a different way than a flytrap would be.
