Yea... Regular VFT. And sometime they may have red dragon. Because they are getting VFT from YG Park.

I see lots of questions like this, nurseries really don't sell cultivars, just seed grown plants, that appeal to them. That doesn't mean that they are any less better, though. You can't say its a 'Red Dragon' unless it says so. It may have lots of anthocyanin, but don't abel it as one. Now if it looks IDENTICAL, you should label it as, lets say Dentate lookalike.

Hee nursery didnt grow their VFT from seed of leaf pulling. I know where the nursery stock in their VFT. And I know the source only have 2 type of VFT --> typical and red dragon. That why I dare to tell what type they have.

I went to YG park and they only have all green and typical. Then Hee only have all green when I went there. Getting cultivars is extremely difficult in Malaysia.

IC. Probably they are out of VFT red dragon.

If it is labeled as such you may call it as such. If it isn't DO NOT LABEL IT, as you think it is. If you know ehere they get their plants, maybe the supplier, said "these aren't Red Dragon, they are a seed grown plant that looks identical. So caseyhoo, you don't know if it is a 'Red Dragon' or not. End of conversation...

Nothing I can say... Because the conversation is end...*biggrin2*

Most of time, Hee nursery will not label his plants... :spinning:

@shamp

VFTs are not native to Malaysia. Unlike in the USA where this plant is famous, most nursery owners never even seen VFTs before. The ones that have them just call these plants 'meat-eating plants'. Tell them they are called Venus Flytraps and they probably have a puzzled look. So that's why getting cultivars is hard. I've only seen typical and all green ones in malaysia. The special cultivars are from other members which probably bought from overseas.

Agree, majority of nursery in Malaysia has no idea what species they are taking in, they know only the common name but not the exact scientific name, even if given, they will still ignore it, all they look at is the price of the plant, most nursery only take in cheap plants, which leads to a simple hypothesis-those vft taken is most likely typical form as it is the cheapest form of vft locally(considering the fact that typical form, shark tooth and red dragon are the more common forms that can be found around, while most other's are not as common):smile:

more like selective propagation(means they choose the desired plant to propagate in a way that resemble the mother plant, through tissue culture or what so ever method)

emperorsnakehead 26th November 2010 11:45 AM

Re: what cultivar does the Hee Nursery sell?
