Desde que vi la serie El Encargado, me volví fan de Eliseo. Claro, reconozco que no todo es digno de admirar; su evolución de astuto estratega a perverso manipulador es cuestionable. Aún así, y a pesar de, confieso que disfruté cada momento. Hay algo en su naturaleza calculadora que me resulta fascinante. Pero lo que más captó mi atención fue su enigmática compañera: esa planta carnívora atrapamoscas. Apenas apareció en pantalla, supe que quería una de esas en casa, hasta me vi alimentándola con calculadora frialdad…no me juzguen.
Por suerte, y tal vez para no sentirme tan culpable, este no era un capricho solitario; resulta que mi esposo ya compartía esta curiosidad por las plantas carnívoras y hasta había investigado sus secretos. Me explicó que, a pesar de su nombre intimidante, son aliadas inofensivas (al menos para nosotros), dirigidas solo contra los insectos que acechan en silencio en casa. Así que de “carnívoras” solo tienen el nombre…creo.
Nuestra búsqueda nos llevó a un vivero, donde descubrimos que la famosa “Venus atrapamoscas” de Eliseo es solo la punta del iceberg. Hay todo un mundo de especies, cada una con su propio estilo de atrapar y devorar. No es difícil ver por qué la Venus suelen ser las elegidas para el show; entre todas, es una de las más expresivas a la hora del banquete. Pero ahora, entre tantas opciones, nuestra decisión se complicó. Aunque, creo que ya tenemos una favorita… Pero eso lo contaré en su momento.
Cuéntame…¿Qué piensas de estas plantas? ¿Cuál elegirías para tu propia jungla doméstica?
Piénsalo, tal vez lo macabro tiene su lugar después de todo… ¿No crees?
ENGLISH VERSION
Ever since I watched El Encargado, I became a fan of Eliseo. Sure, I admit that not everything about him is admirable; his transformation from a clever strategist to a twisted manipulator is questionable. Still, and despite that, I confess I enjoyed every moment. There’s something about his calculating nature that I find fascinating. But what captured my attention the most was his enigmatic companion: that carnivorous Venus flytrap. As soon as it appeared on screen, I knew I wanted one of those at home. I could even picture myself feeding it with calculated coldness… don’t judge me.
Luckily, and perhaps to ease my guilt, this wasn’t a solitary whim; it turns out my husband was already curious about carnivorous plants and had even researched their secrets. He explained that, despite their intimidating name, they’re harmless allies (at least to us), targeting only the insects that silently lurk around the house. So maybe “carnivorous” is just a name… I think.
Our search led us to a nursery, where we discovered that Eliseo’s famous “Venus flytrap” is just the tip of the iceberg. There’s a whole world of species, each with its own unique way of catching and devouring prey. It’s easy to see why the Venus flytrap often gets chosen for the show; of them all, it’s one of the most expressive when it’s time to feast. But now, with so many options, our decision has become more complicated. Although, I think we may have a favorite… But I’ll share that in due time.
Tell me… what do you think of these plants? Which one would you choose for your own domestic jungle?
Think about it—maybe the macabre has its place after all… don’t you think?
