D. filiformis var Floridana "All Red". It was the only seed in a batch that grew. I think I didn’t stratify it correctly. ChefDean sent me some neat seed bank seeds as a bonus prize last June. Thank you Chef!

Beautiful plant! What are those two VFTs directly behind it? LOVE the teeth! Also, do you grow indoors?

Thank you! The one on the left is Alien and the one on the right is Kleopatra. I grow most of my plants outdoors during the growing season, but I’m keeping my more sensitive cultivars and baby plants indoors this year. Alien-type and red flytraps suffer outdoors here. I’m not sure why. I lost an Alien last year. Even Maroon Monster grows like crap in my outdoor setup.
