Trev Posted October 4, 2003 Report Share Posted October 4, 2003 My VFT 'Atlanta' has different cila / teeth on each trap, everything from standard, Jaws, Sawtooth to Dentate, is that normal with this form or is it just my one? Nice having the variation on one plant. Trev. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trev Posted October 8, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2003 Well, you lot weren't much help! I back tracked and found who I got the vft Atlanta from and he says his doesn't have differnet teeth on each trap. Anyone else ever had this on a vft? Would be nice if it stays like it Trev.

Graham Posted October 8, 2003 Report Share Posted October 8, 2003 I grow loads of VFT's, i have had the occasional cuptrap and doubletrap but only as "one off" leaves. Just had a look here http://www.humboldt.edu/%7Errz7001/Dionaea.html The two pics of "Atlanta" look like typical VFT's. If the atypical leaves are all on one side of the plant you may have a mutation. Leaf cuttings of these leaves would produce pure plants with the mutation. If the normal and abnormal leaves are all mixed up i would guess its probably more than likely caused by a virus/stress Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trev Posted October 9, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2003 Hi Graham, great to have you on the forum. I just had a look at the plant and they seem fairly evenly spaced around the crown. It could well be stress thinking about it as it came from Australia in the spring so it would have had a very long growing season. I will do some leaf cuttings anyway and keep you posted. Bob - Sorry I have no camera at present I'll see if I can borrow one. Trev. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
