I crossed a bunch of my plants early this year. Luckily mostly all of my cultivars I received from Matt over just the last year and a half were at flowering age already :). No real precise crossings, just hand pollinated with a fine paint brush as flowers were ready at random each morning. I sowed all my seeds in 3 earth boxes mid-summer and left em in the corner of my greenhouse where I could water them every 2 weeks or so. I took some pics today of the two seedlings that really stood out :mrgreen:. It was hard to take pics on my phone cause they are just so tiny. But rest assured, each of those earth boxes are chock full of flytraps! I'm pretty pumped to see how they grow up (and where I'm going to put all of them!)

Big traps on the left stands out amongst the rest! (hopefully he got some of those DC-XL genes =) )

Haha, seriously! I'm going to have to clear out a weekend just to transplant these guys next year. I'm hoping a select one or two thats unique enough to clone and put a name on it. The rest I'm hoping give away to friends and/or put into a massive flytrap only bog garden :). :D

Holy moly! That's a ton of babies there! If you find anything worthwhile in the bunch, and I'd wager to bet that there will be at least a couple that are nice or interesting in some way, let me know if you'd like me to propagate it for you should you get it to adulthood.

Kevonicus, if you ever plan to sell when they are older, keep me in mind. ;) I am interested in unique and colorful flytraps, and you look to have lots of color there! I am looking forward to seeing how they turn out!
