And to those who care I have started each in artificial propagation. And will be trading some when they get about 2 inches in diameter.
Feel free to discuss.

for both Dentate and Dente (meaning these names are not the established name for the cultivar)HC: the established name for the same cultivar is [Dionaea ' Dentate Traps ' {B.Rice}]
So really, any VFT that fits this description could be labeled as such... This is why you are seeing different plants, not because they are different cultivars, but simply different clones that match the description and so can carry the name. I have probably 10 different looking 'Dentate Traps' plants... but they all carry the official name 'Dentate Traps'.Both (this and [Dionaea ' Dentate ' {D'Amato}]) are tissue-cultured mutations. The teeth are numerous, short and jagged, like a beartrap.
and btw Andrew the simple fact that he stated "feel free to discuss" lets me know that he knew this was going to cause people to start mini rants (kinda like this one), he doesnt care what people are saying in repsonse.i agree with SK's picture post...IGNORE.
