FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

Hey all,

Flytrap Elf here. When I potted these out the other day, Matt and I were so impressed we thought we should post photos of this one. Not sure what can happen past this point, since they are only in adolescence, but they already look pretty sweet.

Here are some photos. (My favorite is the one with the plant chilling on the couch- we tired him out with all the photos, modeling is tough). We had a bit of a photo contest, so if you like a certain photo, feel free to let us know so we can see who won! (he had a macro camera, so it's not really fair, but I tried).

Hope your plants are happy and healthy.

WOW! This is amazing! I hope Matt can get it into TC and sell it to all us FTC people Great looking plant

amazing, it looks fantastic, thanks for posting the pictures leah!

Thats a very nice clone. Congrats on the find!

There are actually two different clones (genetically unique seedlings) there. They're seedlings from a 2010 cross I made (Fused Tooth x Sawtooth). I have perhaps 60 or so more seedlings in vitro with similarly fused cilia. Some of them have more extreme fusing than others and some have shorter cilia and some have longer cilia, but I kept all of the ones showing fusing in vitro. The fusing trait seems to be inherited somewhat easily when Fused Tooth is the mother plant. We'll grow all of them out and watch for one or more that are extraordinary in some way and hopefully different than Fused Tooth or Fuzzy Tooth that we can select out and propagate. If not, they'll be sold in the store as a "Unique Seed-Grown Venus Flytrap!"

I like the lil clumping clone the best from those 2. They're pretty for sure. Good luck on finding something unique...or more unique .

So do I, Dionae. I love them both though. I'm a bit biased, as I love the look a clump of traps has. Great looking plants, Matt/Leah! Just out of curiosity, will they color up a bit, or are they an "all-green" cultivar?

Plants right out of TC rarely have any color to them. Once they're out growing under lights for a few months, they usually color up. And then, of course, once they graduate to the greenhouse they'll get different color and begin their normal seasonal growth patterns.

Awesome!!

Wow! That's brilliant! I don't know how you came up with this cross, but it looks fantastic!
Just to let you know, i like the second, and the last photos best!

They are both gorgeous; the teeth look much scarier than the usual venus fly traps.. I must get some different varities of venus fly traps and cross-pollinate! I must I must! *Stamps feet*

So, if I have a seedling in TC thats red then it should be really red ex vitro?

Yes, in my experience that's the case.

My favorite is the 4th photo with the low-lying fused guy!! I love that one.

Amazing!
