FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

Gave Wally a good watering and snapped a couple of pics.

Enjoying the wonderful weather.

Wally took first place in the small potted plant class, and won a ribbon for best in show at the county fair!

Congrats!!

Wally has been making a recovery since returning home. Unfortunately, someone must have found amusement in feeding him popcorn, pieces of mulch, and parts of the other plants that were on display. A week without sunlight also was stressful. Between 1/4 and 1/3 of the traps died off and had to be trimmed back.

This is a resilient cultivar and I have no doubt it will fully recover with the usual care.

That's exactly why I hesitate doing these kinds of shows with my plants.

No way people will keep their hands off them.

Whoa, that mound of overflowing traps looks so cool! How big is that container?

I was hesitant as well, but in the end I had a lot of fun and enjoyed most of the experience. People for the most part where curious and respectful. Just a few weren't.

9 inches tall by 9 in diameter.

Dormancy is right around the corner!

Wow how long did it take to get like that? Does the cultivar produce many small traps or you just somehow got lucky?

I really like the pics!

Edit: nvm just saw the initial post. You've had this for 4 ish years now!

amazing progress! it's my goal to end up with a container like that! happy growing!

Dormancy update. Everything's been going well and zero problems with mold. Spring's right around the corner.

Well. looks like Wally has had a amazing journey so far.
