Hi Flytrappers! Just a quick question about flowers on VFTs. I've noticed that my larger flytrap is pushing up two flowers. Is this unusual? I'm tempted to let them grow and produce seeds but at the same time i want a lot of trap growth. I'm a bit stuck with what to do, what do you guys think?
Cheers, Simon :)

Two flowers from one plant isn't unusual at all.

If you let them grow, you almost certainly won't see much trap growth until the flowering process is almost over with. In my experience, they seem to almost completely stall putting out traps until the flower stalk is done growing and most of the flowers have withered and the seed pods are starting to ripen.
