Hi guys,
Its been a while since I posted anything about my flytraps.
But something prominent has happened:
If some of you guys remember, I started some VFTs from seed 2 yrs ago in october of 2006.
Here are the start of those seedlings. THis pic was on december 12 2006. The picture beside it on the right is the same seedlings on december 11 2007. Almost exactly an year later. The one that is flowering has been strong even then: Notice the seedling at the top right...most colorful and biggest.
Well....one of those seedlings turned out to be the strongest and as you can see....it has flowered already. I think its pretty fast for a VFT from seed. Seed to maturity in a little less than 2 yrs.
I will try self pollinating it and try to document its development all the way to seed pod and seeds.
cheers,
V
