Not entirely true. From a selfing of a Red Piranha I sowed 150 or so seed and every single plant is pure red with short dentate-like teeth. Some are even purple-black. Not a single green plant was produced. Maybe I was just lucky, but I figure that 150 out of 150 is a pretty high percentage.[b said:Quote[/b] (Alvin Meister @ Nov. 22 2005,4:42)]From seed you will mostly get typical green VFTs. You will have to sow a lot of seeds and look out for red ones with potential.
[b said:Quote[/b] ]Alvin, I respect the accepted wisdom, but whoever is publicising this data has probably never conducted enough true controlled growth comparisons. I have on many, many occasions. I have grown out several hundreds of seed of selfings of Red Piranha, Green Dragon, and Red Dragon. In each instance I obtained seedlings that were as close to the parent's color and form attributes as one could get. The only difference I was able to detect in these seedlings was with the Green Dragon. Although all of them were very red there were many that had varying shades of red in the petioles and traps. The Red Piranha and Red Dragon all produced pure red seedlings.
To whom are you making this request? If it is intended for me...I have already sown all seed produced this year. Sorry.[b said:Quote[/b] (JMurphy97 @ Nov. 25 2005,1:25)]Is there anyway you could hook me up with some seeds?
