I wish this was stable...It looks great! Maybe self-pollinating this plant could make a similar looking more stable offspring?

Very unique teeth imo! They remind me of a snail's eyestalks. I hope this cultivar makes it to the US!

I like it too! I hope to buy it one day lol.

wow, the red one is awesome! finally an all-red version of this mutation :)

Great VFT!

Great cross! It looks very nice!

It's beautiful! Cant wait to see it grow!

Looks great!

Ah. I've seen dimitar's older "Big Donk" post now. I was thinking of a different plant.

Very nice ceph. Is this the Northcliffe seedgrown, or a different one?

Wow. This vft looks great!

Right?! I think if this was named "frankenstein" it would make a nice trio with 'Dracula' and 'Werewolf' I like "critters' as well!

Very nice! It looks "halloween-ish" to me, like a stitched mouth or some other kind of monster.

I think I have seen pictures of the "Umgekrempelt" cultivar before ( I browsed this forum a bit before registering). I also found out about "Angelwings" and "Moon Traps" a little after I posted on another forum in march about my MD Buttcheeks find. Since I wasn't familiar with the "inverted trap" shape I almost didn't buy it. I was nervous the shape would not be a stable trait maybe because it was due to pests or bad conditions lol.

Lol. It is actually my most vigorous grower despite the inability to eat. It has made 4 rhizome divisions in the past 5 months. I love freaky mutants so here's my 2 cents on them: Large and colorful VFTs are very nice. I like them a lot as well. But I sort of see a limit with "regular" flytraps. Some have bigger or smaller teeth, some are more red, some less red, Some varieties get huge and some stay average size. But mutants are fun. I want to see what the phenotypic possibility with the dionaea species is. I love Tricherfalle, Schuppenstiel, Fuzzy tooth, Cupped trap, triton, louchapates, buttcheeks, angelwings, moon traps, wacky traps, korrigans, etc. I want to see just how weird of a mutant it is possible to create. Maybe try to breed red color into them. I guess at the end of the day these guys are unique and stick out among my other vfts. I also could see a new person who wants to get started in the hobby wanting to grow a huge flytrap, with good color, menacing teeth....actually able to trap flys lol. But i don't think we should just destroy all the mutants, im sure there are other growers how like a nice assortment of weirdos in there collection.

Thanks!

Hi everyone. I thought I would share a VFT I found in a chicagoland orchid nursery March 2014. It's been stable so far, with abnormalities on each trap and each division. Features: "buttcheek" shaped traps. Open 180 degrees or greater. Minor scaling is often present on the upper part of the petiole. Not much color so far. Light pink blush on the inside of the trap in full sun. The teeth and trigger hairs are curled. The petiole often rolls into a "taco" shape. The mature traps do not close, however when they are young and not fully open they can close after about an hour after stimulation. What do you guys think? I know some people think "mutant" type vft's are "compost" lol. but I love them, the more disfigured the better!
