This variety of flytrap produces upright yellow traps. The traps' mouths have a splash of reddish-orange. It grows vigorously and sends up multiple traps at once. It also produces larger-than-normal traps when it matures, up to 1.5 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!

    The plant was shipped with proper care, just like all the other plants I received from Sarracenia Northwest. The pot came with a decent sized Venus Fly trap and a smaller offshoot. The pot even came with a free small Sundew. All the traps had a nice healthy reddish color on the inside. Overall a quality purchase.

    This plant took a bit longer to acclimate to its surrounding as well but it finally did.

    Plant arrived healthy and well-packed. Growth is starting to take off! This arrived very hungry, has already caught several meals while my other plants are still waking up!
