UPDATE JULY 2nd, 2014: This plant has been officially named "FTS Towering Giant" and we are very happy to be able to offer a few of these for sale staring very soon (early July 2014).

Tentatively named FTS Tall Giant, this is a monster of a flytrap with large traps, long teeth (cilia) and extremely long leaves. Very dangerous looking!

This is originally a seedling from Bob Ziemer's seed harvest that I got in 2009 and put in tissue culture, hence the BZ40 (it was the 40th seedling I deflasked). I had it in tissue culture again early last year, but took it out because I wasn't sure of its size or impressiveness. But last spring it impressed me with its large traps and long leaves and again this spring it is very impressive; probably the best looking flytrap in the greenhouses right now. It just might be the next flytrap from FlytrapStore to be named and distributed

Suggested names are welcome!

Thanks for all of the name suggestions! Tons of great ones here

I'll have to get Leah's opinion of these and see which one she likes. I guess I should get it back in tissue culture. Seems like many people would enjoy growing this plant.

Blown away by the plant, but "Tall Giant" is such a boring name for this amazing creature that seems to be jumping out of the pot to capture it's prey.
