Hey guys,
I seriously got into flytrap cultivars this year and as I look over my collection, a lot of them end up looking very similar. I understand that with flytraps, its the subtle differences that we appreciate in these plants. I was buying everything with a name, but have slowed my roll and have gotten really interested in the mutants. I have attached pictures of my Red/Purple, Wally, Low Giant and Big Mouth. They all look so similar.
I've only had them a couple of months and vigor seems to be about the same. Wally has produced a ton of offshoots, but the plant is actually smaller than when I originally got it. Low giant has slightly longer cilia and is the only one with color banding on the outside of the trap. Big mouth hasn't stood out much to me and Red/Purple seems to be the most vigorous of the bunch. It hasn't divided, but the mother plant has made a lot of progress.
Same thing with SD Draco and Gigantea. One plant is 3x ths cost of the other and they almost look identical! Not complaining though because they are absolutely beautiful, but what makes SD Draco different from Gigantea? Is there a place with more info on specific cultivars? Might do something where I look for the most vigorous/most colorful flytrap out of the similar looking ones and just sell off the rest. Has anyone else thought about this with flytraps or is quarantine getting the best of me?
