Registration Date: November 24, 2005
Breeder: Unknown. 1970s, but more intensely propagated since 1996
Nominant: anonymous ex Marcus Erbacher & M.Stoeckl, Ahaus & Moenchengladbach, DE
Registrant: Marcus Erbacher & M. Stoeckl
Description:
Quoted from the ICPS database: "The intensely dark red colouration has baptized [Dionaea 'Red Burgundy' {M.Erbacher & M.Stoeckl}]. The comparatively strong and rapid (for a red cultivar) growth, the trapping leaves up to 5 cm large, and the up to 15 cm long petioles of the summer rosette are typical characteristics. The unusual dark red colour intensity makes this cultivar so exceptional. Even under normal light conditions the plant attains full colouration, which reaches an optimum with increasing sunlight and temperatures. At the end of summer and under corresponding growth conditions the plant colours particularly strongly dark red (burgundy). The winter leaves appearing in autumn are short petioled and wider. Smaller traps are formed and the red colouration retreats due to enhanced chlorophyll production."
Propagation: By seed or Vegetative reproduction
Etymology: after the colouration of the plants
Background: Dionaea muscipula 'Red Burgundy' is yet another all red cultivar, but is more vigorous in growth than other red cultivars. With traps that are nearly 2 inches long and 6 inch long summer petioles, it is a fairly large growing Venus Fly Trap. 'Red Burgundy' often has a much darker coloration than other red varieties and a brownish tint.
