FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

Just for fun I am wondering what everyone's favorite plant of each genus is? Of course, monotypic genera don't apply (except for Dionaea), because of course everyone's favorite Aldrovanda is vesiculosa! Hybrids and cultivars are included.

I'll list mine alphabetically by genera:

Byblis: B. gigantea, of course

Dionaea: D. muscipula 'King Henry'

Drosera: D. camporupestris

Genlisea: G. metallica

Heliamphora: H. purpurascens

Nepenthes: N. macfarlanei

Pinguicula: This is a hard one, but I believe right now I'm really in love with P. involuta

Sarracenia: Sarracenia leucophylla 'Hurricane Creek'

Utricularia: U. quelchii

(Edit: I know I said no monotypic genera, but since there are so many varieties in Dionaea cultivars, I decided to include my favorite).

My favorites out of stuff I'm growing.

Byblis: B. liniflora

Dionea: Favorite cultivar is "Akai Ryu"

Drosera: D. indica complex (finlaysoniana, hartmeyerorum, indica, et al.)

Nepenthes: N. "Bloody Mary" aka N. "Lady Luck" (N ampullaria x N. ventricosa)

Pinguicula cyclosecta

Sarracenia: Sarracenia purpurea

Utricularia: U. sandersonii

Good growing,
Mike

Blasphemy!

A lot of people have some good picks, especially Byblis (but that is probably because I love all Byblis ).

Can't say I'm not surprised with the lack of love for Genlisea, but I find that they are something that is hard to appreciate. Maybe I should start changing that mindset around here...

Byblis: B. guehoi
Dionaea: D. muscipula
Drosera: D. gigantea
Heliamphora: H. pulchella
Nepenthes: N. platychilla
Pinguicula: Between agnata and gypsicola
Sarracenia: S. x areolata
Utricularia: U. delphinioides
