Whatever you want. I’ve never understood people saying that if something doesn’t have a label it’s a typical flytrap. Have you seen a typical flytrap? I get not being able to say it’s one of the registered cultivars because it isn’t but calling a very interesting flytrap with cool traits a “typical” is just kinda dumb. It might not be a registered special cultivar but that doesn’t mean you can’t give it a name yourselfI feel like it’s probably about people who have a lot of plants that might be cultivars thinking that the typicals are too and accidentally selling them under the wrong name or something. Right now I only have typicals, so it’s not as much of an issue. I do agree though that the name is bland. They could have used a different word to convey that meaning while also letting people like me know that there’s a vast sea of typicals that look different than I would have ever thought. Didn’t know that til I made this thread.
