You got that right... We plan on crossing a few of the odd looking VFTs we have in our collection to see what we get but wont do that till spring 09 and then its will be a yrs wait just to see how the young VFTs develope.


David, Quote} Baracuda 47, Is it true that this cultivar needs a difference in night and day time temperatures to have that reddish colouration?

David, im a firm beliver its all got to do with the type of light it recives, sun or man made, we are gona do a few diffrent things as far as to see which ones color up better in full sun or under lights in the green house. We just purchased some new plant grow bulbs that we have never herd of nor tried befour, they were more costly than the normal ones we use. I will let you all know how the bulb test run goes, we are gona run this test for 3 to 4 weeks and see what happens. VFTs get better coloration durring spring and fall months the summer growing months there trap colors are not as intense. Some of the VFTs we have recived from the same grower have super intese color to the traps and i am trying like gang busters to find out what type bulbs there grown under, but that secret of theres is hard to find out at this time.. I will pursue this mystery.. As soon as i find out what type bulbs they are IM GETTING SOME!!!!!
