Where is this information coming from? Its always good to have documentation to back up "statistics." Anyone have a book or website to refer to? It would be interesting to see.

It’s a trap!
I recently got a Big Mouth Venus flytrap that is very young and not very big. I believe the Big Mouth Venus is able to produce traps at 2 inches.
As for a common venus flytrap, they can be over 1 inch and can also approach 1 1/2 inches.
Here are my largest traps (these are commons):

Naw..the biggest one is a 2 inch trap from Mike king. Mike if you read this do post a pic for us if you can.
Nick, I also have a bigmouth, to make sure it's real, do you notice any different colour in the traps? It produces intense purple traps, mines is only light purple at the moment.

Just to let everyone know, the photos I posted above are not of my Big Mouth. My Big Mouth is just coming out of dormancy as it was an import from Australia. I did not import the plant either as someone else had already done the importing.
I have a "Red Rosette Giant x Burgundy Trap Giant Upright" VFT with traps approaching 2 inches long. I got the plant last summer from Phil Faulisi. I am hoping for really monster sized traps for our NECPS CP show in October - Halloween & CPs how cool will that be!!
The plant is sooooo awesome cause I can feed it wasps and the traps don't rot from too large a meal.
When I get some film I will take some pictures. Maybe I can carefully place a Quarter in it for scale too.

Here is one of mine...don't know if it is a particular cultivar as the CPs at my local greenhouse are never specifically labeled. But its got some dang big traps! There's a 50-cent piece for reference.
Holy moly Plantakiss! That's huge!
My biggest VFT has traps about 1 1/4 inches. The plant itself has a diameter slightly greater than a two liter soda bottle. I'd guess around 6 inches...maybe a little more.

You ARE going to make some cuttings of that sucker, right?

Too much of a cross will make the plant revert to a typical plant, esp. crosses of flytraps barely different from a typical. Some of my large typicals last year sent out monster traps that are quite capable of eating a wasp! Too bad they are too crowded in the pots, wich leads to smaller growth.
