Deltatango301 Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 Is there a society that keeps a file on the names of Dionaea ? There are so many look alike names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 The trend is to name any Dionaea that defers from typical. Most of the 'cultivars' are nothing but sickly, deformed plants that should have been drowned at birth. cultivar (“cultivated variety”) A cultivated plant that has one or more distinctive characteristics which make it different from other plants, characteristics which are preserved when the plant is propagated. There are so many red forms and dentate forms now that they are indistinguishable when placed side by side. I think the time has come to give them a varietal name instead. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoLongFairWell Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 I don't like Antares. Sorry Lucien. It's just not to my taste. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcel van den Broek Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 I agree that is not anything special (but I'm well known for not being a fan of VFT cultivars). For the record though should you insist in spreading this plant: not 'Antares' but "Antares". Unless you want to go to the proces of making it a registered cultivar. Code says informal names between " " and registered cultivars between singles ' '. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loakesy Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 I think I'm fairly well known for not being a fan of Dionaea "cultivars" too Marcel. I guess I'm in good company. The "Antares" looks really weedy and sick. I would have suspected some sort of insect infestation... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manders Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 (edited) Not a huge fan of nep hybrids either, but you dont need hybrids to get Tarzan vines... Edited August 29, 2016 by manders 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
