Which vfts do you grow?

[BobZ]

There is an interesting discussion on the CPUK Forum on the eastern side of the Pond about what VFT forms are being grown
http://www.cpukforum.com/cgi-bin....ad=2617

It would be interesting, and help in trading, to see what VFTs are being grown in the US and Canada.

To start, I am growing
typical
'Akai Ryu'
“All Green”
'Dente'
“Fine Tooth and Red”
“Giant”
“Green Dragon”
'Jaws'
'Jaws' x 'Akai Ryu' (2-yr seedlings from my crosses)
'Akai Ryu' x 'Jaws' (2-yr seedlings from my crosses)

Well, if they survive (see my other thread

), i have:
typical (although it has a freak 1-1/2"+ trap on it)
'Dentate'
'Blood red traps'
'Akai Ryu'

 

[monkeyman]

Zappafan,

Do you mean you have two different types of Typicals, or that you have two typicals? If you have two different types could you describe the differences?


Thanks,
Mike

[zappafan]

Yes I mean to say that I have two different typical clones. I have young plants at the moment, so any differences are not visible yet.

 

[Vertigo]

Let's see so far:

Typical
'Dente'
'Akai Ryu'
'Green Dragon'
'Dingley Giant'
'Pink Venus'
'Jaws'
'Akai Ryu' x 'Jaws'
'Jaws' x 'Akai Ryu'
'Fine Tooth x Red'
'Creeping Death'
'Royal Red' ?

Coming soon:
'Long Red Fingers'
'Yellow'
'Big Mouth'

Hmm, not sure if i'm gonna go for 'Vigorous' instead of one of these.

 

[schloaty]

typical
dente
green dragon
all red clone (don't know which one)
giant clone (again, not sure which giant clone)

 

[Travis]

You may want to get a cup of coffee after you are done reading my list:
1 Dente
1 Common

Wow

[twm72us]

My collection's about the same size as yours Travis - I figure if things don't go well, I can at least keep casualties to a miminum.

4 Green Dragons
4 Dentates

 

[zappafan]

Vertigo, if it were my choice I would go with "vigorous" it's an "all green" type. It's supposed to be a very fast grower.

 

[goldtrap2690]

I have a :

typical
dente
red variety
giant
green dragon
red dragon
fine tooth x red
heterodoxa

 

[GiantSchnauzer]

Common
Akai Ryu
All Green
yellow
Dente
Fine Tooth and Red
Giant
Green Dragon
Vigorous
Big Mouth
Royal Red
Dingley Giant


I used to have a few of the Cup Traps, but that was about 10 years back when I was new to VFTs and CPs, didn't realize what I had, and let's just say I hadn't mastered the art of winter hibernation yet, and fungus took hold and killed off everyone.

Just curious, where do people find their Cup traps and Giant Clones from?

 

[Vertigo]

Zappafan,
Actually, the person who i'm getting them from suggested one of the others over "Vigorous". According to him:

It just seems like something produced for the commercial market for quicker growth...might be nice in a hybrid 'Big Mouth'.

I've got the most of you all!

drum roll please...

A rescued Common VFT that is actually begining to show signs of improvement... a little TLC always works...

Vertigo, What does a "Pink Venus" look like? I've never heard of those (or any of the more exotic ones you have either) before. I know there's a Dente, a Green Dragon, and a Red dragon, but not much else.

 

[jiana54]

ok...
i have the green dragon, red dragon, dente and the common fly trap.

Cougarmint,
The 'Pink Venus' actually isn't all that pink.

It's more of a shade of burgandy. I haven't really noticed much other differences. The color is definately different though.

There's links to a few pics here. A really good site if you ever want to know what a plant looks like.

Thanks, Vertigo.
