Can someone give me some names of species with traps that commonly grow low to the ground?

I don't want the standard (for lack of a better word) vft that stand upright and are 4+ inches tall.

OH SNAP!

‘Wally’ and ‘Low Giant’ come to mind. Here is my ‘Wally’ in full summer growth. All low traps. I’ve got a few available if your interested.

YES. I sent you a message.

edit: uhh, let me know if you didn't receive anything. the message is sitting in the "outbox" and not in the "sent" box.

OH SNAP!

What size did you purchase Wally, and how long did it take to grow that large? I like the bushiness.

I got the starter size. It took about a year to fill up the FTS cup. Here it is when I got it a year before the other picture. I have a few divisions available for sale if your interested.

The Low Giant, this one will color up more but my current conditions only allow about 6-8 hours of direct sun. Wally is the more colorful one, while I think Low Giant is the bigger of the two.

I'm a little tempted to seek out a low giant to purchase.

Ahem.

HINT.

OH SNAP!

I would email Leah over at the fly trap store, and ask her. She may be able to find you what you're looking for. All of my divisions that are leaving this year are already spoken for, sorry.

SD Kronos stays low to the ground:

Pink Venus (lower left side) also stays low to the ground (the other plant in the photo is WIP Slim Snapper and it grows tall!):

Hope that helps.
