Answer Hi Kyle,
You didn't state if your greenhouse is heated or not. If it's heated, you can keep your seedlings in there. If not, you have the option of either keeping them in the greenhouse or bringing them in your home under grow lights. The seedlings should be fine in the greenhouse for the winter. So it's really a judgment call on your part, depending on your space and equipment.
If your flytrap hasn't flowered yet, you may need to wait until next season. They might not flower for a variety of reasons, but if you recently got it, just wait until next season.
