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! :D

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: http://www.flytrapcare.com/phpBB3/catas ... 23442.html

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?! :P

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.
