Dionaea muscipula "King Henry"
Large-trapped Venus flytrap clone

This large-trapped cultivar was a clone that was isolated from a selfed cross of D. muscipula 'Big Jaws'. One vigorous clone was isolated, selected for propagation and distributed as D. muscipula "King Henry". This variety grows very vigorously and produces traps that are (in my experience) at least a year in size larger than their typical counterparts. (See the first image below, to see the trap of a four-year-old plant in the cup of a hand. Please excuse the debris on the trap surface.)

Dionaea muscipula 'Mirror'
 Aberrant trap Venus flytrap clone

This cultivar is a genetic variant that produces a secondary trap along the back of the main trap leaf, almost a "mirror" image trap with two traps back-to-back. Bear in mind that the mirror trap tends to be smaller than the main trap, and the expressivity of this trait is limited; do NOT expect every trap to produce a mirror trap.

Dionaea muscipula "Moon Trap"
Venus Flytrap cultivar

This cultivar purportedly produces trap that nearly over-open, giving a somewhat "inverted" trap appearance similar to the clone "MD Buttcheeks", but as with that variety we've found this trait to be of limited expressivity in our growing conditions.

Dionaea muscipula "Rabbit Teeth"
Wide-petioled Venus Flytrap cultivar

This clone is so-named not because of abberant marginal cilia, but rather because the leaves produce wide, flared petioles with jagged edges.

Dionaea muscipula 'Trichterfalle'
Venus Flytrap cultivar

This registered cultivar grows funnel-shapped traps in spring, late summer and autumn. I like to think of the traps as sort of the inverse of the 'Cupped Trap' cultivar. Additionally, the leaf petioles often exhibit a "scaled' surface texture, similar to 'Schuppenstiel I' or 'Crested Petioles'.

Dionaea muscipula "Yellow"
Pale-green Venus Flytrap clone

Not to be confused with the registered cultivar 'FTS Yellow', this clone produces paler green traps than 'Justina Davis' in the summer. Calling it "yellow" is generous; it may be a yellower shade of green than 'Justina Davis', but it's certainly a vigorous grower.

Drosera filiformis
Threadleaf sundew

The threadleaf sundew forms long tentacle leaves, akin to glistening, carnivorous grass, and is basically like living flypaper. It’s a very vigorous grower, forming a dormant hibernaculum to ride out the winter, until remerging in the Spring to grow its long, carnivorous leaves. Excellent plant for beginners.

Sarracenia purpurea
The Purple Pitcher Plant and its genetic variants
The Purple Pitcher Plant is a species of cold-hardy Sarracenia that are found as far north as Canada. It produces recumbent, open pitchers that hug the ground as a large rosette. S. purpurea are one of the few species of Sarracenia that collects and holds rainwater. Insects that are attracted to the nectars secreted by the lip of the pitcher fall in and drown. The insects are broken down partially by enzymes secreted by the leaves, but primarily by bacteria. The nutrients are then absorbed into the leaves. Flowers are typically maroon with crimson petals, except for Burk's purple pitcher (now known as S. rosea), which has pink petals.

This is a division of that plant, which grows thick pitchers with a ruffled hood with green coloration at the base fading to a deep crimson as it approaches the outer edges. In early autumn the green of the pitchers transitions into a bright yellow.

Sarracenia 'Lunchbox'
 S. x moorei cultivar

In 2017, this controversial cultivar was unwittingly circulated within the carnivorous plant community as S. 'Leah Wilkerson'. However, its striking white pitchers, which were brighter than 'Leah Wilkerson', raised questions. It turns out that in 2005, a Leah Wilkerson plant was self-crossed, and this was one of the F2 plants resulting from that self-cross. This cultivar has since been registered as 'Lunchbox'.

Sarracenia "Mallory Sunset"
 S. x moorei cultivar

This is an unregistered cultivar of S. x moorei that I obtained around 2015. Unfortunately, I can no longer find information on how it was bred/isolated, and I vaguely recall it being described as being named after the color of sky as the sun was setting over… it might have been over Mallory Square in Key West, FL. Beautiful pinkish orange colors that fade into the green of the pitcher body. I really hope the original breeder registers it with ICPS someday.

Sarracenia "Potty Mouth"
Cultivated hybrid clone
This monster is an unregistered Phil Faulisi creation. I don’t know what its parentage is, but it yields pitchers with grotesquely wide, veined lids that are open to collect… rainfall. Vigorous grower, whose pitchers need to be supported or trellised, to prevent the pitchers from falling over when the rains fill them up.

Sarracenia "Yellow Jacket"
Cultivated hybrid clone

"Yellow Jacket" is a plant with a mysterious past, primarily because it has not been firmly established whether "Yellow Jacket" and 'Carolina Yellow Jacket' are the same clone or not, with reports of the parentage involving everything from S. flava to S. rosea to S. purpurea ssp. purpurea f. heterophylla to S. purpurea ssp. venosa. What IS known is that this pitcher clearly has some flavor of purpurea in its parentage, and produces, bright yellow-green recumbent pitchers with almost no maroon veining.
