Dionaea muscipula King Henry Flytrap

This variety of flytrap produces upright yellow traps. The mouths of the traps have a splash of reddish orange. This variety of flytrap produces upright yellow traps with a splash of reddish-orange on the mouths. It grows very vigorously and sends up multiple traps at once. It also 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!
