I'm letting a lot of my SD Kronos mother pots go to seed this year and these are some HUGE plants. I've never seen flower stalks quite like these. They're super thick and have TONS of flowers on them. They are almost unbelievably big for a Venus flytrap. I don't have anything in the photo for scale but if you know the size of most Venus flytrap flowers, you'll have a good idea of how big this flower stalk is!

Your plants obviously approve of the change in climate. You're going to have a massive bumper-crop of seedlings next spring.

Oh man, so true! Growing here is simple compared to the struggle we had in Oregon to get plants to size. They grow like crazy here!

Yes indeed! Hoping to put a bunch into TC and maybe select some new FTS clones in the coming years.
