This plant was started from seed a long time ago. I've been evaluating it for the last couple of years and it has really impressed me. I finally decided to give it a name!
I have been informally calling it "Short-toothed Red Giant" but that name is long and cumbersome. So I decided to name it based on its highly arched traps instead of its coloration and teeth
FTS Archangel is a red-leafed flytrap, though it has extremely varied coloration with lots of shades of yellows, greens and reds, with short to medium-length marginal spines (teeth). It grows upright in the spring and summer, but it's leaves rarely exceed 2 or 3 inches in length, making it a sturdy flytrap. It can produce traps that are quite large on the shorter than normal leaves, which creates an interesting look.
Let me present to you, making its public appearance for the first time here in this thread....duh, duh, duh
