Battle of the titans

[Cindy]

Just for fun...who will emerge unscathed?

Btw, it wasn't an experiment. The plants were next to each other and the wind blew the D.binata leaf into the VFT pot. It's the third day already...I wanted to repot the D.binata but seems that I'll have to wait till the VFT opens up first...hehehe...

The dogs like to get in little tussles, but my plants generally leave each other alone.

I say the D. binata!   Go, Sticky, Go!   "Chewy" is gonna lose.  

Cindy I always love your photos.

I think both plants will be fine. The binata might show a little bruising where it was caught in the VFT. When the VFT decides to release the binata let us know the outcome

 

[fc3srx713b]

well i think its goes to the one that puts out the digestive juices first dont you think?

 

[Finch]

I have no idea! cant wait to see the outcome

 

[Est]

Just my guess, but I figure that the VFT will probably win. It's possible that no damage be done to either though, maybe tendil movement on the drosera will convince the VFT that there is in fact something in there? Very fun experiment.

 

[lol]

Interesting. I was getting ticked off when for a time, my D. capensis leaves kept wrapping around the living vegetation of other plants! It even attacked my vft leaf when it got too close, and I think it started to turn brown. It was really strange, and I forgot to make a new topic about it

You just like the D.binata because of the goo.

 

[Tropics]

The VFT may win this battle, but in the long run the D. binata will grow like a bush over the VFT, block out light, and win the war.

 

[jimscott]

D, binata! Their like everywhere and all over the place.

 

[Parasuco]

I'd like the binata to wrap itself around the vft. Make things fair.

 

[Clint]

The D.binata "extrema" will win because the Dionaea will go dormant soon!

 

[Cindy]

It's the sixth day and the VFT's not letting go...normally it will let go if the prey is not so "desired" like a dried insect etc.

JLAP, it's always summer here.

 

[zac]

maybe the drosera's attached itself to the inside of the VFT. It good be "glued shut"

Regardless of who wins here, maybe the binata will set seed and rain death from above!!!

It's the 9th day and the VFT is just beginning to open!

Let's take a look!

So far, the binata looks fine except for the loss of dew. I'll wait till the VFT opens completely. But from the look of it, both ain't losers!

 

[jimscott]

And now it's time for the binata to move in for the kill, wrapping its various and sundry dew-laden leaves all over the unsuspecting and over-confident VFT. It'll be like a Hitchcock movie, like, "The birds". The binata will gradually and subtley move its leaves toward the VFT.

 

[Bugweed]

No harm will come to either plant. They are both tough, and anyone who doesn't know that, needs more experience. JimScott! WRONG, son, just plain wrong. Binata will do no more than it already has, nor will the VFT. Neener, neener, neener for all the wrong guesses. Cindy, do we win prizes for the right answer
I'll settle for silver and gold.

 

[jimscott]

Oh I know that. I just wanted to paint a mental picture!
