So I foudn this plant a few months back at whole foods that looks exactly like 'pluto' and all its descriptions. A "v" shaped half cupped trap, reddish innards, and short leaves and petioles. But I strongly support the pracrice that cultivars should be only propogated vegetatively. What should I do? Register it at a new cultivar

(kidding!)

Definitely looks a lot like "Pluto". Nice find! You could give it a new name and distribute it here in the US. Pluto isn't well distributed here yet. I don't even have one in my collection at this point. I'd love to have a division of that plant.

If you want to allude to "Pluto", you could name it for another god of the dead like "Osiris" or "Hades" or "Hel"...

Or, you could refer back to that other Pluto and call it "Goofy"

How about "Luna"

I'm also open to inspect any "Aliens" haha. But really I should work on propagating my plants for trades now that I have new growlights. My "buttcheeks" is sending up a new flower stalk.

I also vote for "goofy". Nice combo.

I like Luna and goofy
What about CHaron, the boat dude of the underworld in greek mythology. Dionae "Charon" sounds pretty cool
Or Dionae "Osiris" the Egyptian god of the dead
