FlytrapCare 69 Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 I chuckled to myself when I came up with this name while lying in bed one night unable to sleep due to the pain of my recent bike wreck. FTS Evil Puppy -- what an oxymoron! Puppies are so cute and cuddly, how could they possibly be evil? If they are the spawn of a Werewolf Venus flytrap, I think that may qualify! I'm really just calling dibs on the name at this point because I haven't chosen the actual seedling that will receive the name. Last winter, I sowed approximately 35 Werewolf seeds I obtained from a friend in Europe. Out of the 35, 13 of them look like the parent plant in some way. I'm going to grow them all out and then choose the most interesting one and name it: FTS Evil Puppy Below are some photos of the leading candidate for the name as I took it out of tissue culture. It was the largest and most vigorous seedling in TC. I'm hoping this translates to life in soil and I'm also hoping for some nice coloration, as Werewolf is mostly green. Several of the seedlings look like they may have better coloration than this one, so another plant could easily end up with this name. In any case, here are some photos of the leading candidate to receive the name "FTS Evil Puppy": I'm pretty excited about this little guy 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cookie0117 10 Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 Does it work? It looks quite like an evil puppy got hold of it and its the bit of plant you managed to get back out of it mouth!! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Little-Bacchus 19 Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 I find genetic abnormalities fascinating, don't know how much I like it as a plant but is great to see what can be expressed. My first thought on seeing it was like some others to think this was some sort of growth damage but not. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trev 56 Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 Weird! The traps look like Holly leaves. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FlytrapCare 69 Posted October 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 Does it work? I don't know yet. This is the first plant I've taken out of TC. Once it gets established and grows functional traps (traps in TC aren't normally functional in the normal way), I'll check them out to see if they work. Thanks for the feedback everyone!

billynomates666 74 Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 It does have the look of a plant that only its mother could love.... Big on curiosity value. Cheers Steve 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
