Dionaea muscipula King Henry Flytrap
$11.95
This variety of flytrap 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. 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!

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!

did not expect such a large healthy plant
was still dormant when arrived, i couldn't guess how many new traps this thing has put out in such a short time. has surpassed all expectations of health size and growth.

Great little plants - arrived healthy
I found the site to be very helpful in terms of setting expectations. Plants were shipped promptly and packaged very carefully. After reading up on plant care on the site I repotted them and they are doing well, growing new flytraps and eating little bugs that come their way. No complaints so far!
