Hello fellow growers!
Here in America we have a saying, the larger the better! So, with that, I'd love to see some pictures of your largest flytraps. A measurement with a ruler would rock too!

These are the largest traps I've had so far this season. Not too shabby I guess when you consider what a rough start most of my plants had getting going a couple months ago:

Thanks, Matt. I certainly haven't been expecting very much this year after the catastrophic start I had at the beginning of May, so it's, like, all gravy now! Or should I say groovy?!

No Ruler, but here is my largest trap. It's about the size of a quarter. It's a B52. Can't wait till they get up to 2 inches. Wonder how long that will take.

Mine barely got about an inch long the first growing season, but after 2-3 years, they've been gradually getting bigger. Yours has nice coloration, Alex. Most of mine don't usually get that red, probably because I live in the middle of the woods and they only get about six hours of direct sunlight while it's directly straight up overhead above the deck. They *do* get more red color in the fall when I bring them indoors and put them under artificial lights, but after what happened with that this past spring, I'll be afraid to do that anymore.

Thanks! Yours look great too! I've realized that for me they became more red when I put them outside. But then again when they were inside, they just sat on a ledge near a window. No lights or anything. I'm hoping some bigger traps will eventually come out though.
