FTS Etna was selected from among hundreds of seedlings in the Flytrap Store breeding program for its outstanding large traps and vigorous growth. It is a very attractive and extraordinarily hardy Venus flytrap, great for beginners and collectors alike.
FTS Etna (named for the Sicilian volcano) started life as just one of hundreds of seedlings grown from seed produced by the Flytrap Store breeding program from its own stock of fine and varied Venus Flytraps. This particular seedling attracted attention fairly early because of its vigorous growth (becoming larger faster than other seedlings) and very large traps in comparison with other seedlings.
