I uploaded a ton of photos I took today here:
Photos of Matt's flytraps spring 2010

Here are a few highlights:
Bohemian Garnet

Image
Low Giant
Image
Image
Big Mouth (aka Red Purple)
Image
Image
Fuzzy Tooth
The trap with the fuzed teeth is actually from last season. All new traps are coming up fairly normal. Fusing gets more pronounced as the season progresses.

Red Plant I raised from seed
It's the deepest red plant I've ever seen.
Image
Here it is next to an all green clone called Grün (which I like better than Justina Davis because it has more vigor and larger traps from what I can tell).

Grün
Image
Petite Dragon
Image
Scarlet Bristle
Image
Image
Looks like it's going to flower!
Image
Red Piranha
Image
Image
Image
Gold Strike
Image
Image
Pink Venus
Image
Image
Akai Ryu (Red Dragon)
Image
Fused Tooth
Notice how the new traps are much larger than the old ones and they're not showing and fusing. The fusing comes later in the year.
Image
Image
Sawtooth
Image
Image
Image
Long Red Fingers
Image
Image
Cupped Trap
Image
Bristletooth
Image
Image
And last but not least:
Wacky Traps!
Image
Image
Image
And it appears to be putting up a flower stalk which I hope to tissue culture!

Thanks Blake! I'm proud of them. It's taken me a bit of work to collect them and to learn how to grow them well, but I really enjoy them.

BTW i do like em when are you going to put them for sale all of em!
Thanks John! Well, none of the plants pictured are going to be for sale. These are all plants in my private collection. I'm using them for tissue to propagate the clones in tissue culture. I'll eventually get them all propagated, but it might take a couple of years. Next year Steve and I will definitely have a lot more clones for sale than we do this year.

The Gold Strike I got in a trade from a friend and the Bristletooth I ordered from Predatory Plants:
