The subject was discussed on the Carnivora talk page a few years ago and the consensus was that it is unknown.

I guess since they're a plant, they've got both sexes... (I forget the technical term as it pertains to plants :oops2:)

It depends on the species, but I think most of carnivorous plants are hermaphrodites (both male and female reproductive organs are in the same flower).
Just a quick search on Google... I'd say its design is based on the Dionaea muscipula (the classic example of carnivorous plants), which is hermaphrodite.

So "hermaphrodite" is used for plants as well? I never remember hearing that in Biology class, although it's been nine years… Searching the synonyms on Wiktionary, it's possible the word I was thinking of was "androgynous". That is a word I know and sometimes use, but again have mostly thought of it more in terms of humans – but now that I think about it, maybe the first time I heard it was in Biology, relating to plants…

Yeah, it is. In fact, I remember the word "bisexual" being used for these kind of plants too.
