You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

In the wild they are only native to a very small area in North and South Carolina. They say they were originally only found within a 100 mile radius of the town of Wilmington, North Carolina.

Green Swamp is probably the best place to see them in the wild
This link has plenty of information on Green Swamp and how to grow your own plants.

It grows mainly in North and South Carolina, in the United States within the 60 mile radius of Wilmington, NC.

---quote----
The Venus Flytrap is found in nitrogen-poor environments, such as bogs and wet savannahs. It survives in wet sandy and peaty soils. One such place is North Carolina's Green Swamp. There also appears to be a naturalized population of Venus Flytraps in northern Florida as well as populations in the New Jersey Pine Barrens. The nutritional poverty of the soil is the reason that the plant relies on such elaborate traps: insect prey provide the nitrogen for protein formation that the soil cannot. The Venus Flytrap is not a tropical plant and can tolerate mild winters. In fact, Venus Flytraps that do not go through a period of winter dormancy will weaken and die after a period of time.

According to FlyTrapCare.com, while they can be found growing all over the country, their native habitat is the Carolinas (North AND South), primarily in the swamps and bogs of the area.
