There was some good lighting in Ashland today, so I snapped a few photos of the new clone that will be "hitting the shelves" of the FlytrapStore very soon, possibly as soon as this weekend. It is very similar in appearance to 'Bohemian Garnet', but I believe that it gets a bit larger, though I've only had it out of tissue culture for a couple of months so far, so I can't yet say how large it will get.
We're tentatively calling it Dionaea "FTS Red Sawtooth". If anyone has a better name for the plant, I'm all ears. I asked my wife Leah for suggestions and her chosen name was Dionaea "Eclipse". Her explanation for the name was that the teeth look like little vampire fangs (tying it to the twilight saga about vampires) and that it's so dark maroon ("dark") that it looks like it's under a full solar eclipse.
