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!

My King Henry Flytrap arrived carefully packaged and appearing very healthy (obviously a little stressed from being in a box for a couple days). I took the plant out of the container, watered it well and set out on the porch for the summer. Weeks later, it is absolutely thriving. It's sent up multiple new traps and has caught several flies too! Love my plant and will definitely order from your company again
I received a very robust and healthy looking plant. It was packaged nicely for shipping. After a short period of adapting to my central Texas heat, the plant is sprouting new growth and doing very well.
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.
People say they've never seen a Venus Flytrap with so many traps and more are coming up.
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!
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.
was very impressed with the plant as well as how it was packaged. I will definitely shop with you guys again.
Great everything. Thanx
Love the attention to packaging and quality of the plant is outstanding.
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.
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.
This plant has started producing monsterous traps late summer, biggest traps in my collection behind my B52.
