Dionaea muscipula King Henry Flytrap
$15.95
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!

Nice looking and larger than expected plant
Living in the desert growing these can be a challenge. Plant quickly acclimated to full sun with some shade. Plant came hungry and with proper care has done very well.

Excellent plants.
People say they've never seen a Venus Flytrap with so many traps and more are coming up.

Looks nice!
There were many semi-dormant traps still attached and all of them looked healthy. Now that the warm sun is hitting the plant, it's getting shiny and popping traps like crazy. Yay!

king is correct
I bought this great plant last year. I paid for 1 plant and got 3, one main with two tiny baby ones. It grew very well and looks very nice. It has nice long petioles with big traps, mainly greenish-yellow with a tiny bit of red when it gets really hot and sunny. I re-potted it into 5x5x7 white square pot at the end of season last year and it's doing very well currently. It tried to flower, but I cut the stalk off since I want it to grow. Its traps are very comparable to my B52, though the B52 is a bit older. There are currently 5 plants, so it divides very well. Looking forward to seeing that it looks like fully matured and fill out the pot.

Flytrap
This was ordered as a reward for my son. The package arrived on time and in great condition. He opened up and read the instructions on how to open the plant packaging. The plant is still alive doing well, we learned it doesn't like to eat crickets.

Arrived Looking Great
I was very impressed with the time these guys took packaging my plant for shipping. It arrived as scheduled with little to no damage to the plant. I love the flytrap! My first time ordering, but definitely not my last.

King henry flytrap
Well packed. Plant was better than pictures. They actually packed 2 or 3 plants which are growing close together. I haven't had a chance to move the plant and it is growing like gangbusters in the pot it was shipped in - one month later.
