    Thank you for your reply and I will try and find a botanical garden near our location although we live in the country. I did wonder if the speckled leaves might be disease but the leave all look very healthy and as the stems are also completely pitch black I think possible the leaves tie in with the rest of the plant.

    The closest I can find on a brief examination of identification sites is Nicandra physalodes, or apple-of-Peru. Although it doesn't seem exactly the same. The black speckles on the leaves might be a disease rather than natural leaf markings, although not necessarily. If you call the nearest botanical garden, you should be able to get identification, or at least find out how to get that information.

    Definitely not venus fly trap. I'm not familiar with the plants that are found in your part of the world, so I wouldn't even hazard a guess. However, if you contact the nearest botanical garden, they should be able either to identify the plant, or tell you who could. BTW, if you purchased the seeds from a plant store, you should request a refund.

    The first thing to do is to find what kind of plant you have. You can send us a picture.
    This article will give you a general understanding of what makes leaves turn yellow: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/environmental/plant-leaves-turn-yellow.htm
    There seems a good chance that your plant needs more light than it's getting. If it's planted close to the house, sometimes there is a nutrient imbalance close to the foundations that can affect some types of plant.

    Yellow leaves can be a symptom of various causes or as simple as something being even just a bit out of balance. Another good read is "Why are my leaves turning yellow?" by Harley Smith in Maximum Yield USA, March 2014. Can be viewed online. Great source of gardening info

    If you appreciate the attractive foliage, go ahead and remove the blooms so the plant can focus its energy on the foliage. If you like the blooms, leave them in place but remove them as soon as they wilt.
