FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

I'm really liking this plant. I've only been growing it since September 2009 and when I received it from Bob Ziemer, it was very small. But it grew quite a bit over the winter and has done very well this growing season. Here are a few photos for those of you that haven't seen it or for those of you that just like looking at photos



A couple of closeups of the "scaling" (I think that's what most people call it) on the leaves.



The weird traps, which are fused on the proximal end, are only present later in the summer and fall. In the spring, the traps are fairly normal in appearance. A closeup of the odd traps:

It is actually quite a cool plant, not really seen pics of it before but definatly worth growing.

i really wish you wouldnt post pics of your cool clones
now i want one!!! ^ thats a joke incase it blows overyourhead

Great photos, looks like it grows the reversed cupped traps quite often in your hands!

Yeah, I really like it. And unlike most of the freaks, it appears to be fairly vigorous.

Yes, by the end of the season, it was only producing reversed cupped traps. I really like this little freak

Sounds great Matt, only one friend of mine has got a 'Trichterfalle' - but it produces only the regular VFT traps, with only 1-3 reversed traps a year! I'm really impressed by the way this plant looks in your hand, great work

crazy!

is this a cross of some sort of cultivar?
CUpped Trap and something?

I was told that it originated through phytohormone treatment, but I haven't verified this.

The funnel traps aren't very large, but the normal traps are average sized.

Those things are so cool! They are really weird but have a cool appearance to them!

Nice plant, and I really like the color on the traps.

My favorite part about this plant is the scaled leavess, that would be cool to have a regular V trap with the scaled leaves

When is this one going to be available through the FlyTrapStore?

Next spring or summer Steve and I should have plenty of them available barring any unforeseen catastrophes

Those are cool
