FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

...or at least I think so! I noticed this little guy just yesterday and at first was worried it might be dying but at the base it's growing a little trap which is bright red. It's the same age as the others which so far are all green so I think this one possibly inherited some sort of trait/gene from its parent(s)!
Can't wait to see how this one will grow and how the other's traps will turn out!

That looks promising, nice! Update later when it has a few leaves, please, preferably with comparison shots of the others. I'd like to see the difference.

Yes, it's pretty cool! Sure, I'd love to!

Just took these when I got home.
The leaves have gotten out of the seed cap, and the trap that is growing is almost maroon in color, or a very dark red.
I also notice another seed (didn't take a pic) that has a nub of a sprout coming out the end, and it looks green and white, but with a red stripe down it. Possibly another one!

I know this goes without​ saying but please keep us posted! I really would like to see the updates throughout the trip to maturity.

Sure, will do! I'm so happy people also want to see it!

Here we are, sorry I haven't been updating very frequently

Saturday: Sunday: Today: I'm starting to wonder if it might have some sort of special teeth too? They look somehow more unique/different from the other flytraps, almost like they're more spikey? What do you think?

Very hard to tell for certain on such tiny babies, but those do look like longer, darker-colored teeth. Keep us updated!

Nice seedling. Is this post dead or are you going to continue to update it?

Thank you. Well it's been dead for a while, and I have taken so many pictures of my plants since then it's just ridiculous to sort through them all- there's so many. I do have ones more recently though, it's changed and grown a lot. I'll post them, since you seem interested.
This was from October:



And this is when I repotted it along with all my other flytraps, a few weeks back. The one in the middle and on the bottom right are not ones I grew from a seed, the rest are though. There are two maroon seedlings.



Finally, this I took just now of it. The pot was outdoors for a while where they all got plenty of sun and it darkened beautifully

Thanks for the update. That looks like a lovely plant with very nice color to it. Happy growing.
