Hello everyone. I just wanted to post some pics of my flytraps. I had bad luck with my Justina Davis, but my other flytraps have been growing like crazy even within one week. The King Henry is especially vigorous. I bought a starter plant and it was just as big as my young plants. I bought four flytraps from the store, but had one previously that was purchased at a farmer's market in North Carolina last year.

The one I got from the Farmer's Market has been through hell and back. It was attacked by birds/squirrels after it came out of dormancy this year and it was knocked completely out of its pot while I was on vacation. I repotted it with CP soil and sphagnum moss and it's shooting out new growth. It's my baby. My husband was going to toss it because "it looked dead", but fortunately I was able to nurse it back to health.

7 year update on my FTS typicals. (That’s funny, I could’ve sworn I had these longer). All of these are from that one small pot in 2016. A few of the divisions have been given away, carried of by critters, lost to bad weather/pests, etc. There was an upright flytrap that was carried off by a bird or something and a random red typical seems to be growing in it now.
