What it says on the tin! I love the contrast between bright, rich red and green on flytraps rather than just red all over. What are your favorite cultivars that have this characteristic, assuming light requirements are met and all that?

FTS Purple Ambush and FTS Flaming Lips come to mind, as do SD Draco and Gigantea.

B-52 can get really red on the inside of it's traps! As it's the only green flytrap I have that can get significant red coloration, it's definitely my favorite.

The ones making colorful interior for me right now are Big Mouth, Guava Sawtooth, Schuppenstiel, and FTS Purple Ambush.

The longer you leave a fresh trap open the more color it gets, so make sure nothing sets them off!

Also most vft get super colorful during the resting seasons.
