You should It's one of my favorites!

I'd say that G16 and Low Giant are very comparable plants, both in terms of trap size and growth habit. G16 gets better coloration and does put out some semi-upright traps in the spring (if I remember correctly), whereas Low Giant does not.

Thanks! Yes, that's only LFSM that it's growing in.

That could be. It's challenging here in the summer with the extremely hot and dry weather. But the larger 5" pots, like this one is potted in, aren't too challenging. The smaller 3" pots in which we grow most of our stock are much harder to keep moist.

I will do that! There isn't much to look at yet this spring, but I did snap some photos a while back and just haven't had the time to post them.

I hope to get it in TC again this spring and have it available by the fall for shipping in late winter or spring 2015.
