We discovered this flytrap in our nursery many years ago. It's a seedling that grew from open pollination. It caught our eye because the traps were larger than surrounding seedlings, so it's possible that one of the parent plants was one of the giant forms in our collection. The teeth were also triangular, similar to Dente, so we named it Mako (a type of shark). We set this one aside, and we're glad we did. It's a vigorous grower and has given us many divisions.
