I would be really interested in buying/trading for this guy if anyone has one or more!

I mean.. look at these things!

I grow it and haven't been overly impressed with it so far. It's a pretty nice plant, but the "teeth" aren't dramatically longer than most flytraps. I did get it in tissue culture last spring and FlytrapStore should have some to offer this year.

For me, the Trichterfalle x Coquillage flytrap cross that we made a few years back has consistently longer teeth. I prefer that flytrap over Phalanx. Of course, the name isn't as cool :)

Thanks Matt,

That is a good looking hybrid, but I've never been a fan of the ridges on the petiole, that the trichterfalle gene induces. Image I'll be buying that phalanx once it's available!
