Gigantea Venus fly trap

Gigantea

Rating:
93% of 100
Not to be confused with Polish Dracula, this Dracula was obtained directly from Trev Cox of Ireland. This clone originated first and is more highly touted for its blood-red traps and serrated teeth. FlytrapStore is the only carnivorous plant nursery in the United States to have offered a Dracula Venus fly trap obtained directly from Trev Cox. Note: Interestingly, the saw-tooth development for Trev's Dracula is seasonal, showing up most strongly in the Summer. Photos of the plant can be found here: Photos of Dionaea Dracula. The most famous photo of Trev's Dracula can be seen here: Infamous photo of Trev's Dracula

    The only available size with the starter plant, and it arrived way bigger than I anticipated. The plant looks extremely similar to the pictures: deep red traps, perfectly aligned "teeth," and nice curves. It arrived within two days after shipment (southwest PA) with no visible stress or damage as a bare root.

  2. Cultivar looks nothing like its registered description. Disappointing.

    I fully understand that the way a particular cultivar looks will vary depending on the climate. In my case though, I've never seen any other VFT cultivar that varied so greatly from the description than the Trev's Dracula. The description includes terms such as; strongly curved large traps, triangular cilia, and mostly low growing. The description also mentions red coloration but I won't hold that against it because climate and temperature are really big factors in VFT colorations. I have my plants under full sun in zone 7b, and apart from the "large" description, my plant looks nothing like the descriptions and photos from the originator of the cultivar. The traps are indeed large but all the traps on my Trev's Dracula are upright during the growing season. Not a single low growing trap until it is fully dormant. Furthermore, the triangular teeth are not as neat looking as what the photos from the originator shows. The teeth on Jaws look much better. The teeth on Trev's Dracula have plenty of deformations, sort of like it's starting to go sawtooth. As for the curved traps, there are indeed some curved traps, but the intensity is nothing like what the description had me believed. Most traps still have fairly straight backs, and those that do curve do not look anything special. In my climate, I've also never seen the plant color up anywhere near what is described. Mine stays mostly green throughout the year. I've had this plant for 3 growing seasons now, and to me, it looks like just any other dentated cultivar with no distinguishing or special traits other than its largish traps. I have bought plenty of plants from Flytrap Store throughout the year and this review is for the cultivar, not the store. As always, Flytrap Store delivers very healthy plants that are well packaged and you can rest assured that you are getting the cultivar that you paid for.

    This cultivar is so cheeky-looking with its red fangs. I can literally stare at the bloody thing for hours on end. Kudos to Matt and Leah for stocking such a range of exotic cultivars. Doubt I'll be ordering from anybody else.

    Dracula arrived earlier this month, and caught himself a nice, juicy spider for breakfast, his first morning here! He was expertly packaged for shipping and is VERY healthy and happy. Thank you, Matt and Leah. Once again, you rocked it!

    The plant arrived perfectly packaged and in pristine condition! Before placing my order I emailed a few questions to Matt. He responded quickly and answered each question and gave me additional care information to make me better prepared. Shipping was faster than I anticipated. Overall I have had a great experience with Matt and Leah! I’m excited to do more business with them in the future!

    If Matt and Leah have any of these in stock, do yourself a favor and just get it... I received a starter plant, so I can't say I know what it's going to look like after some real growth... But I can say that I've never seen such a young plant showing such intense coloration and sharp contrast. It's currently the jewel of my collection. I think by this time next year, I'm gonna have something really special... Price is a bit high, but it's totally worth it.
