Schuppenstiel 2 is another "freaky" flytrap with scaling on the leaf-base much like its relative Schuppenstiel 1. "Schuppenstiel" means "scary stalk" in German and the thick, textured leaf-bases sure do make the plant look scarier! Learn More

A creepy little dictator of a plant, BCP Kim Jong-Il is, in our opinion, the best clone in the dictator series offered by Best Carnivorous Plants (BCP). Also known as BCP 1343-02, BCP Kim Jong-Il is a very, very small Venus flytrap variety -- overall maximum size is about 2 inches in diameter -- with unusual trap shape and gnarly little jagged teeth along the edge of its small traps.

It exhibits unusually long "teeth" that rival or even surpass those of Phalanx, and extreme scaling, or cresting, on the leaves, similar to Schuppenstiel but even more pronounced at times. Additionally, it regularly produced "pitfall traps" similar to the mother plant, Trichterfalle. It can produce beautiful coloration, and is a hardy upright grower. Learn More

BCP X11 is a short-toothed Venus flytrap with its unique jagged teeth being among the shortest of any Venus flytrap cultivar. It is an upright grower, and is overall hardy and very attractive. Learn More

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 Learn More

Red Fused Petiole shares the rare distinction with Korrigans and Crocodile of having unique leaf bases that fuse to the trap, interestingly eliminating the petiole from the plant, which is quite unusual! Most impressively, Red Fused Petiole exhibits beautiful magenta coloration that can become so deeply saturated that it appears almost purple. Best Carnivorous Plants, of Europe, chose this cultivar as exceptional- a great endorsement indeed. Learn More

Booman's Mutant is an awesome little chameleon. The appearance of Booman's Mutant varies drastically from season to season. It normally has long, thin leaf-bases, similar to Korean Melody Shark.

As the growing season progresses, the teeth get shorter and shorter and almost appear non-existent during the winter months, as shown in the product photo. Learn More

"Vitiligo" was developed back in 2005 by Trev Cox from a batch of ‘Dentate’ seed crosses. It was selected for its unusual interior trap coloration, which it displays in a pattern of unique patches. ‘Vitiligo’ also has short teeth (cilia) which have an appearance somewhere between a ‘Dentate’ and ‘Sawtooth’ Venus Flytrap. Learn More

Selected from a group of seedlings resulting from a Microdent and Weinrot (red-leafed flytrap) cross, this particular Venus flytrap has the ability to develop beautiful deep red traps and a red line on the outside of the trap in strong light. Like the mother plant, Microdent, this particular clone also has exceptionally short and numerous teeth. Learn More

Scarlatine is a spotted sawtooth Venus flytrap, similar to Spotty but with stable variegation. This plant was selected by and sourced from French Venus flytrap grower Lucien Blacher. A very vigorous and large growing plant. Beautiful, to say the least! Learn More

"Freaky Star" was chosen for great distinction by Araflora in the Netherlands, because of its extremely uncommon and highly remarkable traps that are much different than a typical Venus Flytrap. Freaky Star showcases razor-frayed trap margins, resembling an exploding star. Learn More

Mirror is a highly-unusual Venus Flytrap clone that can intermittently produce a mirror-image-like trap on the back side of the spine of some of its traps, or sometimes one or two cup-like projections on either side. It is also quite hardy, and would be a great beginner plant for this reason. Learn More

It doesn't get much more unique than this one! Venus Flytraps are already unique and rare, but Wacky Traps is truly an awesomely wacky Venus Flytrap, sporting jagged traps that goes this-way-and-that, never what you expect. It is made of uniquely thick plant tissue, giving it a cactus-like feel, and providing hardiness against the elements. It can develop cool spotted red-toned coloration on the trap interiors. Wacky Traps used to be almost impossible to get until Matt obtained it from overseas. A collector's item for sure; quite a find. It is a genetically smaller plant than the "giant" flytraps, instead putting its energy into its wackiness! Learn More

Trichterfalle, also known as "Funnel Trap," is a bizarre Venus Fly trap that grows traps which are fused together at the inner margins where the trap connects to the rest of the leaf. This fusing creates an interesting and odd looking trap like no other flytrap produces. Trichterfalle also occasionally has "scaling" on the leaves which gives them a rough, sand paper-like appearance at certain times of the year. Learn More

Korean Melody Shark is a very unusual and rare Venus Flytrap. The petioles (the long part of the leaf that supports the trap) of Korean Melody Shark lack flanges, and therefore resemble jungle vines, sometimes curling around in squiggly shapes. The traps are uniquely shaped like music notes, and are colored a pleasing light tangerine color. The cilia are even unique, with a jagged sawtooth-like pattern. Overall, about as unique of a flytrap as you can find, and really out-of-this-world looking. Learn More

Long Red Fingers is a small but unusual and attractive Venus Flytrap clone. The spines on the traps of Long Red Fingers are not only long and often red, but frequently fused and crossed. Also, the traps are a cup shape, rather than the typical Venus Flytrap shape. Very nice clone. Learn More

The Fused Tooth Venus Flytrap has marginal spines that are fused together in various and fascinating ways, giving it a very distinctive and otherworldly appearance. It is definitely one of the most unique Venus Flytraps, and can also develop beautiful red coloration on the trap interiors. 'Fused Tooth' is an officially registered Venus Flytrap cultivar. Note: Interestingly, the fusing of the marginal spines of Fused Tooth is variable and seasonal, most fused in Summer and early Fall, least fused during late Fall, Winter and early Spring. Learn More

Acquired by Matt in 2022, Carnivoria Ramesse I is currently our favorite new cultivar. Like Alien and Jaws Smiley, Carnivoria Ramesse I make elongated traps filled with hundreds of tiny trigger hairs. For us, it grows with far more vigor than Jaws Smiley but has similar curled trap edges, making it look like it is smiling. Traps can get very large and we wouldn't be surprised if it surpasses Alien for the world's longest traps one day. Learn More

Carnivoria Crusader is an awesome plant that often makes traps in the shape of a "cross" (hence the name Crusader). Sometimes the little flanges look like ears -- Shrek's ears to be exact! This one is definitely a "must-have" for any fan of freaky flytrap clones!! Learn More

Carnivoria Asmodeus is a Venus flytrap that is quite reliable with its "Mirror-style" traps and the variability of the mutant traps is like nothing I've ever seen before! This one is definitely a "must-have" for any fan of freaky flytrap clones!! Learn More
