Dionaea muscipula
Venus Flytrap (typical)

The classic Venus Flytrap. When insects push trigger hairs on the inside surface of the leaf, the leaf closes. Its struggles repeatedly push the trigger hairs over time, causing the trap to seal shut, and for the red glands to secrete digestive enzymes as its digests and absorbs its insect meal over several days before reopening.

Dionaea muscipula 'akai ryu'
"
Red Dragon" Venus flytrap

One of the first Venus Flytrap cultivars to make its way into tissue culture, the akai ryu (Japanese for "Red Dragon") is a plant that grows completely maroon under bright lighting conditions such as full sunlight. In the absence of full sun it attains a strong green hue with marginal maroon, but its full coloration can be restored over time with growth in full sun.

Dionaea muscipula "King Henry"
Large-trapped Venus flytrap clone

This large-trapped cultivar was a clone that was isolated from a selfed cross of D. muscipula 'Big Jaws'. One vigorous clone was isolated, selected for propagation and distributed as D. muscipula "King Henry". This variety grows very vigorously and produces traps that are (in my experience) at least a year in size larger than their typical counterparts. (See the first image below, to see the trap of a four-year-old plant in the cup of a hand. Please excuse the debris on the trap surface.)

Dionaea muscipula 'Trichterfalle'
Venus Flytrap cultivar

This registered cultivar grows funnel-shapped traps in spring, late summer and autumn. I like to think of the traps as sort of the inverse of the 'Cupped Trap' cultivar. Additionally, the leaf petioles often exhibit a "scaled' surface texture, similar to 'Schuppenstiel I' or 'Crested Petioles'.

Drosera capensis
The Cape sundew
In addition to being one of the easiest, most forgiving sundews to grow, the Cape sundew, native to South Africa, is also one of the most visually stunning. It is one of the few species whose leaves move to wrap themselves around their prey, to bring a greater number of its digestive and trapping tentacles to bear. It is so easy to grow that in some collections it is regarded as a weed because its bountiful seeds take root extremely readily.

Drosera filiformis
Threadleaf sundew

The threadleaf sundew forms long tentacle leaves, akin to glistening, carnivorous grass, and is basically like living flypaper. It’s a very vigorous grower, forming a dormant hibernaculum to ride out the winter, until remerging in the Spring to grow its long, carnivorous leaves. Excellent plant for beginners.

Oblong-leafed sundew
The oblong-leafed sundew is another temperate sundew, sort of a temperate version of the Cape sundew, that forms a rosette of carnivorous leaves. In the winter, it forms a dormant hibernaculum to ride out the winter, until remerging in the Spring to grow more carnivorous leaves.

Drosera tracyii
Albino threadleaf sundew

This threadleaf sundew was previously categorized as a genetic variant of Drosera filiformis, but was reclassified as a separate species in recent years. Like its filiformis relatives, tracyii froms  long tentacle leaves, but its stalked glands are white rather than red, with denser, shorter tentacles and thicker leaf blades.

Sarracenia purpurea
The Purple Pitcher Plant and its genetic variants
The Purple Pitcher Plant is a species of cold-hardy Sarracenia that are found as far north as Canada. It produces recumbent, open pitchers that hug the ground as a large rosette. S. purpurea are one of the few species of Sarracenia that collects and holds rainwater. Insects that are attracted to the nectars secreted by the lip of the pitcher fall in and drown. The insects are broken down partially by enzymes secreted by the leaves, but primarily by bacteria. The nutrients are then absorbed into the leaves. Flowers are typically maroon with crimson petals, except for Burk's purple pitcher (now known as S. rosea), which has pink petals.

This is a division of that plant, which grows thick pitchers with a ruffled hood with green coloration at the base fading to a deep crimson as it approaches the outer edges. In early autumn the green of the pitchers transitions into a bright yellow.

Sarracenia 'Lunchbox'
S. x moorei cultivar

In 2017, this controversial cultivar was unwittingly circulated within the carnivorous plant community as S. 'Leah Wilkerson'. However, its striking white pitchers, which were brighter than 'Leah Wilkerson', raised questions. It turns out that in 2005, a Leah Wilkerson plant was self-crossed, and this was one of the F2 plants resulting from that self-cross. This cultivar has since been registered as 'Lunchbox'.

Sarracenia "Mallory Sunset"

This is an unregistered cultivar of S. x moorei that I obtained around 2015. Unfortunately, I can no longer find information on how it was bred/isolated, and I vaguely recall it being described as being named after the color of sky as the sun was setting over… it might have been over Mallory Square in Key West, FL. Beautiful pinkish orange colors that fade into the green of the pitcher body. I really hope the original breeder registers it with ICPS someday.

What IS known is that this pitcher clearly has some flavor of purpurea i in its parentage, and produces, bright yellow-green recumbent pitchers with almost no maroon veining.
