Re: VFT Lifecycle

Nice.. This forum is just what i've been looking for. As far as I am aware there are no carnivorous plants available in Barbados. I myself am looking at germinating various types of CP seeds for my presonal collection. Depending on how easily they propagate I may look at cultivation for resale. I choose seeds because it'll save alot of hassle, import-wise.

What Var. of Dionaea are we looking at?

Re: VFT Lifecycle

the common variant is vft "typical", followed by vft "shark tooth" and vft "red dragon", this is the case in malaysia, you can find more from US since the plant is originally from there

Not sure if the question is for me or LJ? ...:)
Anyway, the plants are now awaken from their first dormancy recently. One put out flower stalk... aborted half way though. Guess it is still young. They have not grown till where they were before sleeping. So, will wait a while before showing photos.

This was their size when uprooted a few months back, right at the start of becoming dormant, which was 11 months in age. Growing amazingly faster than leaf pullings.
Attachment 4215

Finally, they have grown for a while and ready for photo after awakening from dormancy. This is at 1 year and 5 months old. Err... too lazy to trim away the dead leaves.
Attachment 4213

The largest tried to flower. It realized it was too young and gave up...:)
Attachment 4214

Will take more photos a few months later when they are at their best...:)
