FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

The OG

This is a new addition to my collection and I can’t wait to see it take off

You are one of only a very few people who grow this clone so take good care of it!! This is the original plant that Bob Hanrahan selected to name when he was running World Insectivorous Plants (WIP) via mail order many years ago. He sent Steve Doonan a division of this plant and Steve grew it out and sent me some divisions back in 2010 or so. I've not made a point of propagating it yet but will do so this year. It's a nice giant flytrap!

Hopefully it can handle the heat down here!

Should take off anytime soon!

This is another plant, like FTS Incredible Red Hulk, that very, very few people grow at the moment. I've been impressed with this one over the years. There's nothing incredibly remarkable about it but it is a nice giant flytrap and I think its historical significance (it was the first named flytrap selected by Bob Hanrahan of World Insectivorous Plants) means it deserves to be preserved in cultivation.

This is unexpected but it looks very nice imo. The trap shape is good and the cilia is long too!

It really is a great plant! I should have propagated it more long ago, but I'll get it in TC this year for sure
