FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

Step right up, step right up. That’s right folks, don’t be shy now. You there in the back, come on up! You’re a little bit on the shorter side, and trust me you’re not gonna want to miss this!
What we have here folks is a CCCP Orca! This species is pretty special and definitely not something you want to miss! Note the fantastic and eye catching colors we have here. An eye popping lime green that is sure to catch the eyes of more than a few insects to be trapped. The differentiation between the outer traps and the ooo-ey gooo-ey insides is absolutely stunning, wouldn’t y’all agree? The inside of the traps is a vibrant, deep red that shades to a scrumptious wine red that is certainly appetizing to even the most discerning and (you’ll forgive me for sayin so) snobbishly elite frisky fliers out there!

Let’s turn now to those cheeky chompers. These cilia are quite distinct wouldn’t you say? Of course you would. Y’all are clearly quite observant. How lucky am I to have drawn such a crowd today? These fly traps are quite singular even among the dentate species because of their unique appearance. It’s easy to see where they got their namesake. Rows of these whale like teeth are grouped so closely they appear to have more teeth than they probably do which does in fact make them look more like the grand predator of the seas!

And of course, I wouldn’t want to sell you on a dainty slow grower now would I? Of course not! Only quality here folks! These plants have passed the test as far as hardiness. They also seem to proliferate at quite a decent clip. Of course that’s important because much like Pringles just one isn’t enough!

So who among you would like to get your hands on one of these beauties? Don’t be shy now! You definitely don’t want to pass up this once in a lifetime chance to take home your own CCCP Orca!


(I hope I’m understanding what part of the plant is considered the species lol.)

I'm not sure of the official name. But I bought it as a 'fish bone" cactus. It's definitely hit me a few times with spines. BtW elaineo very creative giveaway. I might have to pass you the torch why do you need to grow it? Because its unique and beautiful. And you can get poked transplanting it. Then we are blood sisters

Very creative ad Unfortunately Dionaea muscipula is all one species. You are welcome to submit another entry though!

They’re perfect for anyone with a busy lifestyle. You're probably too busy taking care of your CP's. It's a simple, sustainable way to connect with nature, without dealing with the fuss of distilled water, special soil, dormant, etc.

I don’t grow many succulents, but graptopetalum is one that I do have Feel free to submit again.

Nepenthes sanguinea ‘Orange’ is the perfect nepenthes. It’s easy to grow since the native area spans both highland and lowland zones, and it’s neither too big nor too small (Goldilocks just loves hers!). Plus, just look at those gorgeous freckles! And who doesn’t want a plant that is constantly salivating?

Technically the plant in the photo is not a Graptopetalum. It is an intergeneric hybrid called xGraptosedum 'California Sunset', and therefore it might be different from the one that you grow...

You should grow a sensitive plant, also known as the touch-me-not, also known as the shameplant, also known as the mimosa pudica. It's not as easy to grow as a succulent, but grows much in a similar way to a venus flytrap but without the distilled water part. The leaves of a mimosa pudica look like a fern but rounder, and these leaves have tiny hairs like the trigger hairs of venus flytraps. When these are touched the leaves will fold up into a straight line, giving the appearance of a dead leaf. This effect really looks startling if all the leaves are touched at once, as if the plant was alive one second ago and dead the next. This makes it overall a fun plant to grow, along with other moving plants like flytraps, squirting cucumbers (technically these are exploding plants but-), telegraph plants, bladderworts, sundews, and trigger plants.

This is a must have tree. It is a " Vesuvius Flowering Plum". The reason you need one? Well, I am not that great at selling trees but if I were to sell them, this would be the first in line. They bloom at the exact same time as Cherry trees bloom and they are a beautiful species when in full bloom. Many people, including my former boss mistake them for Cherry trees since they bloom right about the same time.

Yes, trees count! I used to have a couple of cherry plum trees (same species, different appearance) but I accidentally killed them and have been searching for a replacement ever since. Does this one bear fruit? If so, I'll definitely add it to my wishlist!

The bird of paradise plant is an excellent choice for anyone looking to add a touch of tropical beauty to their home or garden. Its beautiful, bird-like flowers bring vibrant color and an exotic look to any space, making it a true standout. With proper care, the bird of paradise can live for many years, becoming a cherished, long-lasting addition to any plant collection.

Haha... I have that one too. Hint: I live just a bit south of you, so most of the stuff that is native or naturalized here is probably already in my collection.
