Big flytrap Competition!

[stevebradford]

Let have a dedicated thread for a continuous running largest Flytrap competition!

Measuring the trap from furthest bristle end to other furthest bristle end. Example:

Largest Flytrap's largest traps are typically produced towards the end of the natural growing season in response to larger more abundant food prey. smaller traps produced during and coming out of dormancy with less to catch during winter smaller traps are more efficient.

My typical Venus fly trap produced multiple traps around 3 cm

I got lots of little ones waking up!

 

[carniferryplant]

I could only get 2.4 cm with my traps last year.

That is really impressive...the uk carnivorous website Cpunk forum has (used too) have who has the biggest flytrap contest every year. You would win. You might have a new cultivar. The guy who started keehnscarnivores out in Lumby, bc won it way back in one of those years

@Carson Hardy needs to post a picture here!

Stopped by for a visit yesterday and we got to encourage that guy to post more pictures.

None of mine ended up getting super large

 

[Carson Hardy]

Fine. At Steve Bradford... Haha

Biggest ones of the year - have about 3 adult plants with this sized traps, maybe the same genetics? Not sure.. but they all look slightly different. This one is just a nice deep red, so thought I'd share this one.

Jeremiah holds the world record if anyone is interested.

Here’s the longest trap I managed to measure and photograph this last year, just under 2 inches. A seed grown VFT, CPS Angel Wings x DCXL clone 1

 

[Sparrow]

Wow massive

 

[Shoggoths]

It's hard to take picture and hold the rule. Near 1 3/4 inch for this B52.
The biggest I've grown to this day. The trap got bigger in Autumn.
I've started DCXL from seeds but they are stil really tiny.
Nice trap Roraima

It’s big trap season!!

I’m gonna kick it off with this 1 5/16 or 34mm trap, not crazy but my largest so far this year.

 

[Les serres de Paolo Inc.]

Sorry but I win!

 

[Sparrow]

I like the colours of this one.

 

[coconut]

Mine in a 2 1/2 gobelet. Starting from seed.

 

[Mary]

Aren't we Canadian? Why is everyone measuring in inches? . My largest is sitting around 3cm and I'm pretty pleased with it! (Seed grown, 3rd Summer)

 

[Lloyd Gordon]

VFT's are from the USA and prefer inches.

 

[stevebradford]

Got a new one, good and proper 1 5/16 inch or 34mm

I know some of you out there have even larger, let’s see some 2inch traps!!

Nice one. Is that a specific breed?
