I know flytraps can't be labeled as anything other than "typical" if they're purchased unlabeled, and I won't be labeling these, but one is pretty clearly something like Moon Traps (complete with nonfunctional traps) and the other looks like Bristletooth or a somewhat sun-deprived Crimson Sawtooth.
EDIT: nope! Not a Moon Traps type. It grew out of that. The other has turned out to be almost certainly Red Piranha.
How do we suppose this happened? The website for this brand only sells a standard flytrap, they don't offer any specific cultivars. And yet- here these are. Same tag, same pot, same-sized plant as the others, presumably the same source.
Either way, I'm pleased with them. I'm excited to see what they look like given some proper light, and they should make good test subjects for a grow light I want to test.
I got these at my local garden center. I must say, this brand seems to put out good flytraps- the plants all looked robust, and were good-sized both in terms of maturity and in terms of trap size. I did, however, as you can see, find two that are definitely not the usual fare.

Sorry for vanishing. Life happened. Might vanish again.
