I grow Jaws Smiley. In my opinion it looks almost identical to 'Alien' and 'Alien' is already a registered cultivar. For that reason, I've chosen to propagate 'Alien' over "Jaws Smiley". We just sold the first one last week and will only have a few more available this year, but should have more available next year.

Thank you for your reply guys! Wire man, Loved the art! I've seen your work on deviantart before and Had no idea!

I showed the picture to my brother and he said "looks like tacos of death" haha!!
lolz!and, yeah, thats one awesome looking flytrap! wow!
oh, and how big are those traps?
Sorry for the long delay. Below are the promised comparison photos of "Jaws Smiley" and 'Alien'. The biggest difference I can see in the plants is the shape of the teeth, which I think look much more menacing on 'Alien'.
