Amar Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 (edited) I suspect that any plant that is named black, but is not actually black under normal illumination, is likely to come under question here. The same happened with Eden Black. I understand the desire for someone to express the dark colouration in the name, but calling it a colour that it is not is a little bemusing. Nice plant though Hold on, "black" isn't a colour. Edited June 20, 2014 by Amar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defalotus Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 Seriously people!? Its my clone and I have quite a few clones with names just so I can keep up with them. I sent Matt the clone last year labeled as black traps because, in the fall, its so dark burgundy, especially on the inside of the traps, I coined it black traps. I'm a private grower and youve never seen any of my clones for sale or even posted to the internet, for the most part, because I grow them because I like them. I sent Matt a plant and gave him permission to do with it as he pleases because hes such a good guy so please stop getting on his Case over a plant he didnt even name and don't start with me because if I want to name the plant Hannah Montana, well...its mine! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defalotus Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 Thats a beautiful pic dimitar but its apples and oranges in this case since my biggest plant is 3 times smaller than that and by no means mature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoLongFairWell Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 I couldn't agree more Eric. Although seeing as the name is already taken by another clone on the CP Photo Finder I would recommend a modified name such as the EM Black Traps Matt came up with or anything else you fancy such as Green Envy or Banana Boat even, just not Hannah frickin Montana or Justin bloody Bieber! That is a nice pic Dimitar (in it's own right). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenofeden Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 People can name cultivars anything they like. If you like the plant, grow it and enjoy it. If you don't like it, raise something better yourself (if you can). It's not easy choosing an appropriate name ... Richard , I understand what you're saying about photo finder, but the whole purpose of the cultivar system is to avoid duplication of names. The first to publish and register gets the name, everything else is just a nickname until publication. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest paul y Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 are there any restrictions around what you can or cant name a plant? as in can you be really sarcastic or just plain rude or offensive? I truly hope there isn't, there is simply not enough humour in horticulture, everybody takes it all far too seriously. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FredG Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 FlytrapCare forum member Dionae (Eric) graciously sent me a division of this really nice plant last year (I think?). It is the darkest, reddest flytrap I've ever seen! And the name "Black Traps", coined by Dionae, is certainly appropriate. The traps are completely burgundy in good light. And the leaves only show a bit of green soon after they emerge and also turn completely dark red in strong sunlight, as evidenced by the photos. Hello? Is this comedy hour? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petesredtraps Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 Hello? Is this comedy hour? Seems that way, [ The traps are completely burgundy ] so let's call it " Black Traps " . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corky Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 (edited) i would still like to grow one,its a nice coloured ,functional good looking plant,and it would be good to grow alongside my red dragons to see the colour difference ,and you guys should be happy with the new name,guess there' s no pleasing some "rouge fonce" meaning dark red i think Edited July 27, 2014 by corky 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defalotus Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 Yup, Corky no pleasing some and no use arguing with them. Never argue with a fool...theyll only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience;). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mantrid Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 dont see any foolishness in those replys. Just commenting on the inapropriate name "black traps" for a red plant. I dont think they were refering to the latest post calling it "rouge fonce" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimitar Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 no pleasing some and no use arguing with them.

Hannahraptor Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 Come on guys. Enough is enough and life is too short for this. This sort of back and forth just puts new and old members off posting. ;) Kiss and make up time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meizwang Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Eric-that's a spectacular selection! If you grow that same clone under twin wall polycarbonate with cool nights, I bet it can get even darker. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
