The Flytrap Store Lab (plant micropropagation and sterile tissue culture program of FlytrapStore.com) is pleased to announce two developments--
Shipment of live plants internationally, and especially carnivorous plants, some of which are on national or international endangered species lists, is made more difficult by sometimes complex and rather cumbersome paperwork, forms and fees associated with export and import, plant inspections, waiting periods, etc. However, plants created using sterile tissue culture techniques are exempt from many of the obstacles normally present when shipping live plants, and the expedited and less costly process makes the shipment of plants in sterile tissue-culture containers practical and allows some rare plants to be obtainable by interested persons almost anywhere on Earth.
The Flytrap Store Lab is pleased to now be able to offer some Venus Flytraps and other carnivorous plants as sterile cultures in the International section of FlytrapStore.com.
The plants currently offered for sale as sterile cultures for international shipment (not for shipment within the United States) include--
Venus Flytraps in sterile culture-- B52, Bohemian Garnet, Trichterfalle, WIP Slim Snapper, Low Giant, Pink Venus, UK Sawtooth II, Southwest Giant, Shark's Teeth, Megatraps, Long Red Fingers, Holland Red, Grun, Fuzzy Tooth, Dingley Giant, Cupped Trap, Bristletooth, Big Vigorous, Red Piranha, Vigorous, Spider, Sawtooth, Royal Red, Paradisia, Fused Tooth, Dutch Delight, Dutch, Creeping Death, Clayton's Red Sunset, Big Mouth, Akay Ryu, Green Dragon, Clumping Form, Dentate Traps and more
Other Plants in sterile culture-- Cephalotus follicularis, Heliamphora minor, Heliamphora nutans, Drosera regia, Drosera slackii, Drosera spatulata 'Ruby Slippers,' and Drosera rotundifolia
Rare Venus Flytraps Propagated, Auctions at Ebay
The success of the Flytrap Store Lab in establishing several very rare Venus Flytrap clones in tissue culture has produced an initial small number of plants that will be auctioned at eBay periodically (see links to current eBay auctions below) until a greater number of plants can be propagated and offered for distribution and sale at FlytrapStore.com. These rare Venus Flytraps include two official cultivars (plants that have been registered with the International Carnivorous Plant Society) named 'Wacky Traps' and 'Korean Melody Shark.'
More information about these two Venus Flytrap cultivars, as well as photo galleries of the plants, can be found at FlytrapCare.com at the following links--
