Yeah, I'm pretty sure they'll reach maturity and then open.

No idea. I've only seen it one other time a few years ago from someone else on the forums.

Any update on this awesome plant?

Been meaning to post one. I'll get a photo soon and update.

A few photos for an update
And my mother pot of Fused Tooth decided to do it too!

What a monster! Does it even have a price?!

Hah, well, it's genetically identical to all of the Fused Tooth flytraps we sell in the store, which are priced at $14.95. But since we let this one in particular flower and waste so much energy on a flower stalk, it probably won't be ready for sale this year. Perhaps by late summer it will have recovered and be ready for sale, but probably not.

Too bad my order just got shipped, next time will definitely get one of those. Hope it can also fuse for me Very awesome Matt! Great work on raising those "monsters"!

Omg, it even happens on another vft. What is the red one? Typical?

That's the wildest thing I've yet seen.. Reminds me of jack and the beanstalk. Will that plant even survive after flowering or during flowering? I'd imagine a stalk like that would cost a lot more energy

Looks great matt. I would like to see if the flower bloom are normal.

That's my mother pot of Fused Tooth flytraps, so it's the same variety.

It seems to be doing fine right now, so I'd expect it to survive. But I can't imagine the resources the plant used to make that flower stalk.

i just find it funny how tall and large the flower stalks get compered to the plant.

That is bizarre looking!
