I GOT 12 BUDS Yeaaaaaah

I'm pretty sure that's it's around 20-30 seeds per flower for a healthy venus flytrap.

so if i got 1 flower stalk with 9 buds i can get UP TO 30X9 !

??

 

[uglypho]

Yup that's how it goes. Some pros even score 500 seeds per plant.

 

[Bignaturalbrock]

you must be kidding......... that means i can have thousands of these in 10 years.

woooooooow

lots of people will be receiving seeds then

 

[pond boy]

Just remember to keep it legal,don`t ship to a foreign country unless you know for sure its legal.

 

[Bignaturalbrock]

12 buds yeaaaaah !

 

[Jason Wong]

Congrats...you seem a little excited

....I hate to be a downer, but 1) don't forget to pollinate the flowers, they don't self well on their own and 2) the 20 seeds is for crossing with a different gentic VFT. If you self it it's more like 5 seeds each... But that is still a lot

Whether a joke or not, I think it is incorrect. I have never noticed a difference in seed numbers whether selfed or with a different VFT. The key is in the timing of pollination when both the pollen is ready and the stigma is receptive. Sometimes when selfing using flowers on a single stalk, the timing may simply not be optimum for maximum seed production; whereas, the more flowers that are available, the more likely to find flowers in just the right condition.

looks like its gonna open soon.

I just got about 16 seeds per bud and thats not crosing them at all. I cant wait to cross them and go for 500

 

[HellzDungeon]

wow...
that must have an exhausting effect on the plant...
but then again, 500 VFT's would be nice

 

[kegman]

What would I get if I pollinated my typical VFT with my Dente?

 

[fre8train]

a typical dente

 

[kegman]

Thanks. What I ment was would I get Dente seed or typical seed

That depends on the genetics of both parents. In simple genetics, if the expression of the dentate cilia was responsible to a single recessive gene (call it "d") and you needed (d x d) in the offspring to get a Dente, then if that gene was lacking in the typical parent, you would never get any Dente offspring from that breeding. If, however, Dente showed with a single "d", the probability of getting a Dente again depends on the genetics of the parents. In reality, the genetic combination needed to get dentate cilia is not known, and, the genetics of the parents are not known, so the answer to your question would only come from trying the experiment and counting the number of Dente-like offspring. If you did breeding again with a different typical parent, you would probably get different results.

Luv that answer! LOL!
