I grow Jaws Smiley. In my opinion it looks almost identical to 'Alien' and 'Alien' is already a registered cultivar. For that reason, I've chosen to propagate 'Alien' over "Jaws Smiley". We just sold the first one last week and will only have a few more available this year, but should have more available next year.

I showed the picture to my brother and he said "looks like tacos of death" haha!!

oh, and how big are those traps?
Sorry for the long delay. Below are the promised comparison photos of "Jaws Smiley" and 'Alien'. The biggest difference I can see in the plants is the shape of the teeth, which I think look much more menacing on 'Alien'.

Close up of 'Alien' trap interior. Notice the multiple small hairs in the bottom of the trap showing up as little red dots.
