Five weeks ago my 25 Baby Venus Flytraps for 25 Dollars from the FlytrapStore arrived.
47 actual plants!
I detangled them and pseudo-potted them in a wee taco of LFSM wrapped in a tube of paper, packed in FTS peat mix. Some of the tiniest sprouts have lost their original leaves, but all 47 are putting up new leaves.
Most are stabilized with 5 or 6 leaves. There's one monster (foreground of photo) that has bravely put up a flower stalk (was sad to pinch it off).
My untrained eye thinks that these all look like typical Typicals, except for one distinctly reddish one. And maybe one has a curvier trap arch...
Wisconsin weather is still too miserable to put them outside, so they are still getting leggy under a grow light with occasional field trips to the deck on sunny days.

I did score a pack of seeds that I'm hoping will give me some interesting mutations, who knows
