Dionaea muscipula 'Alien'

[mmlr38]

I finally got around to taking some photos of my 'Alien' Venus fly trap and I created a page on FlytrapCare for the official cultivar:
Dionaea 'Alien' Venus fly trap

This is my first growing season with it and I'm really liking this plant. The traps are much larger than I thought they'd be. The teeth on it look awesome. And the crazy number of little trigger hairs at the bottom of each trap are really cool.

Below are some photos I took. Enjoy!

I like the trigger hair shots!

In my eyes it's the coolest Dionaea so far!

i was kind of hoping for a trap with a second smaller trap in it...

propagation by parasitic eggs?

This does look gorgeous, though, and I love the pictures.

I think it's on a lot of people's want lists right now. Hopefully I can get it in tissue culture and make it more easily available soon.

Thanks! I really like the one with the dark background and shadows.

I don't think you're alone with that opinion. A lot of people really like this plant.

Does it go through 3 stages in its life cycle? Can you hear the bugs scream?
I like it!

Wide mouth, small teeth, VERY SCARY!

WoW! That's about all I can say, except maybe:


Yes, this plant has made it onto yet another wishlist.

Thanks for the comments

That is a very nice looking plant. It looks vigorous too. Are all of the trigger hairs functional including the smaller ones? I would guess only the larger ones are.
