Dionaea muscipula King Henry Flytrap

This variety of flytrap produces upright yellow traps. The mouths of the traps have a splash of reddish orange. It grows very vigorously and sends up multiple traps at once. It also produces larger than normal traps when it matures, up to 1 1/2 inches. Because of the long petioles, the leaves flop over due to the weight of the large traps. This is probably why it was called King Henry!
This batch are divisions from a 10-year old colony that we divided in spring. You can watch us divide the colony on our YouTube channel.

Very impressed
I have never tried growing Venus flytraps for some reason and I am very impressed with the quality and resilience of the two I purchased a few weeks ago. They are thriving and growing very well.

ICPS Conference
I enjoyed meeting Jeff at the ICPS conference and chatting over dinner on Sunday. The plants I have bought this year from you have all done very well. Much success to you in the future and I hope Norma Addington does well, I'll buy a piece in a few years, lol! -- Best, Dan Walker
