There is one VFT cultivar and the interior of its traps are so dark red that they look black! How cool is that? The cultivar is called “Wine mouth”. So pink looking flytraps exist and now black looking ones. What’s next? Blue ones?

Heck! I can show you one that actually IS black.... (Of course the fact that's due to it being dead may have something to do with it.

)

Love that cultivar. Unforunately, it's extremely expensive ... like hundreds of dollars expensive. Check this out ...

That's crazy , right? I'm tempted to order one and propagate the bejebus out of it.

I got my Wine Mouth from Diflora as well as some other rare cultivars. Pricey shipping for international but its worth it.
