about that...
Matt, have you ever registered a cultivar before?

Nope. I hope to one day, but Steve and I have only just begun our Flytrap breeding program. We have some very interesting and attractive clones, and some of them may be worthy of registering.

The one I think that probably is the most worthy that I grow right now is this one:
http://www.flytrapcare.com/phpBB3/anoth ... t9323.html

It came from Bob Ziemer's 2009 seed harvest and it is a sawtooth with extra trigger hairs along the margin of the trap. I like the name "Trigger Happy" for it, but I'd also like to include Bob's name in the official name (whenever that is decided) because he's done so much for the CP world.

FTS "BZ Trigger Happy"

how about 'fuzzy edge' or 'grizzly'
It its really cool and definitely able to be a cultivar!

Matt, awesome list! I'd love to get a hold of a few of those in Canada one day

Almost all of them will likely be available for shipping to Canada in sterile cultures either this year or next.

FTS "Trigger Happy Bob"...sounds like my cousins .

lol... sounds pretty funny, would be a rather interesting name!

I just realized that matt seems to neglect Nepenthes... why?

Meh, I'm not a Nepenthes fan either

Nepenthes are fine, but I don't get much pleasure out of them. I grew quite a few for a while and I didn't feel like the space they took up was worth the enjoyment I derived from them. I could fill the same space with many more Venus fly traps, Cephalotus or Heliamphora and enjoy them much more.

hmm i guess.
still some nepenthes are pretty cool like hamata or rajah or lowii

This is my opinion but I think nepenthes are the best out of all the CP's.
This is mainly because they don't go dormant and they have the spectacular pitchers.

(this does not mean that I "hate" every other CP)

Everyone has an opinion! For example, my favorite CP's are 1. Tie between Dionaea and Cephalotus 2. Sarracenia
