FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

Thanks

it looks to me like a low giant, who was the seller, if you can try to contact the seller, he might give you the info, if it didn't come with label or anything, it is probably a typical, but this one, it looks way to big to be a typical and it grows prosprate(low-lying growth) is that how is called?
this is a low giant:( it looks like yours)

I think it's a low giant! Like jht said, try and contact the seller, they will know most!

Looks like a Venus fly trap to me

Wow, I reallly messed up! You should not label it anything unless you're 100 % sure it is genetically related to the mother plant "Low Giant". That's why you should contact the selller and ask what they know it was, or if it's just typical. Never falsely tag a plant

I agree with dantt99.

Just call it a typical.

I bought it at Botanical Garden during Penang Floral Fest so I don't know anything about the seller.
But it's ok

If in doubt, give it your own name! Plants grown from seed are genetically unique (like humans) and so they can't really be placed under an already existing variety name (unless they're a hybrid/cross-breed and you know what variety both parents are), whereas plants taken via divisions and leaf pullings are genetically identical to the mother plant and so are named as appropriate.

As it was from a botanical garden (and they tend to know what they're doing), it might not just be a typical. If you really are desperate to know what variety it may be (if not grown from seed) and remember the date of purchase (or have a receipt), you could contact the garden and ask them about it. Tell them the date of purchase, how much it was and if you bought the plant at an event, let them know which one. You may find they can tell you who cultivated the plant.

If worst comes to worst you can always name it "Dionaea Musciupla Not-A-Clue-A"... or George. Whatever you prefer. It's a beautiful plant anyway!

well it's venus flytrap for fact!
