So is there any definite data or any approximations from reliable sources on the VFT cultivars with the largest traps? I know the B52 is probably still considered to have the largest traps of all the VFT cultivars but is this still true with all the "big leaved" cultivars out now and the one currently in development? Has there been any experiments or competitions or anything that prove that the B52 is still the conquistador of the giant flytraps? What is the official (if any) recorded size of the largest VFT? I know that the DCXL from FTS is apparently giving the B52 a run for its money but what about the up and coming 'Ginormous' from California Carnivores? Has this cultivar been around long enough to make accurate comparisons? When and how did the B52 cultivar become the standard to which all other big flytraps are compared? What was considered the biggest vft before the B52? what are the Parents of the B52? Has anyone done any observations of the B52, DCXL, Ginormous and or any other big leafed flytrap cultivars in their own collections? Hopfully with all the new cultivars claiming to dethrone the B52 currently in cultivation there will be that one outstanding specimen that actually does just that... grow beyond the size and scope of the famous and mighty B52.
FTS claims that DCXL is the contender for the "worlds largest traps" title, at the same time Damon from California Carnivores says that the newly recodnised cultivar 'Ginormous' grows traps that rival the B52 while being slightly more vigorous. Iguese only time will tell which one is the real contender and in the end I also guise it doesn't matter much since it seems mostly like hype created to market and sell more flytraps at higher prices. Either way, it works cuz i'm hooked on the BIG LEAFED FLYTRAPS!!!
If anyone has any Ginormous, Ginormous x B52, DCXL or B52 plants to trade or otherwise please pm me and lets make some deals!!!
