janmyszkier Posted November 12, 2003 Report Share Posted November 12, 2003 what is differency between B9 and typical VFT? it's shape? or what? ...and do anyone have photo of 'clumping cultivar' VFT? If you don't have photos try to describe me how it look like... thanks a lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Aidan Posted November 12, 2003 Report Share Posted November 12, 2003 Given time all VFT will form clumps of plants, but some clones do it more readily than others. 'Clumping cultivar' is a misnomer as there is no cultivar registered with this specific feature. I have a plant that quickly forms clumps (thanks Vic) that I refer to on my Grow List as a 'Clumping clone' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobZ Posted November 12, 2003 Report Share Posted November 12, 2003 The ICPS Database has the following: N: $[Dionaea ' Clumping Cultivar ' {D'Amato}] P: Savage Garden:66 (1998) S: =[Dionaea muscipula {Soland. ex Ellis}] HC: registration preliminary (standard missing) B: ?P.D'Amato Nominant: P.D'Amato, 1998 Description: Savage Garden:66 (1998) "these plants produce clumps of rosetted growing points, which result in a mound of densely packed leaves." Standard: Etymology: after growth form Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Aidan Posted November 12, 2003 Report Share Posted November 12, 2003 HC: registration preliminary (standard missing) I thought someone would bring that up! It does seem an odd thing to try and register as they all clump to some degree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janmyszkier Posted November 12, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2003 and what with the B9 form? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vertigo Posted November 12, 2003 Report Share Posted November 12, 2003 and what with the B9 form? The B9 form is a small mutant from TC "developed" and distributed by Best Carnivorous Plants. My guess is it's the closest thing you'll find to the "pygmy" form from Australia I believe it was that popped up some months ago. How small the B9 form is, I have no idea.

janmyszkier Posted November 12, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2003 okay Thank You all for your answers. It should help me a bit with recognizing dionaea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest spongi Posted November 17, 2003 Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 I got B9-Clone in cultivation since some months. It is a remarkably small clone. I estimate the diameter of an adult plant to be around 3 to 4 cm (we'll see next year, I guess this clone to be adult end of next season). This cultivar is by far the most difficult and very sensitive to low humidity. But it's worth the effort: a real pygmy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
