I thought I'd share a few photos of the newly named FTS clone, "FTS Shogun Star". This plant was germinated in vitro from the 2008 FlytrapRanch seed harvest. The name was chosen by my wife, who is much more creative than I am, because of the similarity of the cilia to the points on a Japenese (ninja) throwing star. "FTS Shogun Star" is almost certainly an offspring from a cross with 'Dentate Traps'. Like 'Dentate Traps' it has short, usually triangular cilia, but what distinguishes "FTS Shogun Star" is that the ciliar remain shorter and are often forked, giving it a nearly sawtooth-like appearance at times. It also has a somewhat yellow coloration with traps that get good color in late fall.
