Dionaea muscipula "King Henry Flytrap" LRG
$19.95
King Henry is a new cultivar. It's produces upright yellow traps. The mouths of the traps have a splash of reddish orange. It grows very vigorously and sends up multiple traps at once. We've had this variety in our collection for only a year. We've noticed that the plant produces larger than normal traps when it matures, up to 1 1/2 inches. Because of the long petioles, the leaves flop over due to the weight of the large traps. This is probably why it was called King Henry!

"KING HENRY FLYTRAP"
Beautiful. I know it's sleeping right now but I can't wait for it wake up in the spring. It arrived safely, very well packaged. Excellent communication with Sarracenia NW. They let me know when it was packaged, shipped and that it had arrived. Thank you.

These are Really the King
The traps are so large, you may not keep a finger if you keep tripping the traps. Traps better than a inch long and when it catches a insect... it seems to explode when it shuts down on its prey. If you have to have a Fly trap.....then this is The One.

Wonderful
I could not believe how big these "King Henry" flytraps are. It was much larger than any other flytrap I bought from local stores. I will buy from here allthe time now.

Great plant

vigorous grower
By far my most favorite cultivator. The traps are indeed big the plant itself is tall and is a vigorous grower. I bought a huge order of them last year and a small order them this year and all never disappointed me. They grow fantastically and are my fastest growing flytraps. You'll not be disappointed with this plant.
