Until recently I'd never even heard of the Venus fly trap clone "A2" developed by Henning von Schmeling.  I was exchanging some emails with David Conner and he mentioned it in passing.  I was immediately interested and went on the look for a trade.  I was able to secure myself a clone from the very generous Jeremiah Harris of the Colorado Carnivorous Plant Society.

I received the clone in the mail today, January 16th, 2010 and immediately potted it up.  It's a rather healthy looking dormant plant with good coloration.  I'm excited to see what it looks like during the growing season.

Here are a couple of photos of what it looked like after I potted it up.

Considering that this plant is the parent of Dionaea 'B52', I'm excited to propagate it and use it in the FlytrapCare breeding program to grow large trapped and vigorous plants!
