Dormancy in the tropics have been discussed quite a lot. On that note, without forcing dormancy via fridge method or lowering artificial light duration, will venus fly traps flower in places with tropical climate aside from stress-induced ones?

I purchased some purps from a local seller this past summer and he threw in a VFT. No name or anything so it was a freebie. I decided rather than put it out with the rest that I would put it in my grow tent to see how it does. I have lights on for 21 hours a day. The darn thing has thrown up several flowers. Rather than cut them I decided to let them go and they are blooming and doing great.

Thank you:

Yes they'll flower fine. Below are one of my flytrap with flower bud. SE Asia, tropic, outdoors all year round.
