Try the Flytrap Shop on the net. He may be able to help you. I wrote him once about an old VFT of mine (28 years) and he seemed very knowledgable. VFT's are all he sold. My Red/purple Big Mouth is small yet, but I will divide it a little this spring. Good luck and good growing!!
I have a question. I recently liberated a VFT from a Yardbirds Hardware store. It is like Dente but the interior of the trap is a bright beautiful red. What is the name of this clone? I can't keep up with all the new VFT cultivars!! Good growing!!
No, Wesley, the cutivar name is big mouth and the red/ purple is one of its characteristics. I should stay better versed in the Dionaea, but sarrs are my passion. My big mouths cilia are purple too, and really pretty in the summer. Right now, of course, it's bedtime in the cold. The petioloes are short, but the trap can be huge. I like them and the Royal Red the most.
Yea, nothing against PFT, but since they don't carry them I will probably get one this spring. Who knows, maybe PFT will carry them by then... maybe, maybe not.
Wesley, I have to agree with Goldtrap. Cooks has a number of VFT cultivars. I got Royal red and big mouth from him. He has some excellent photos of representatives of these cultivars, too. Go, Wesley, go!! Good growing!!
