Pleasantly surprised

19 years ago

So I posted a message about a week ago about growing my new VFTs outside. Now the person who gifted them to me got them at Target in that "deepest darkest corner" that for some reason they're always located in. They were labeled as typical VFTs.

I guess the first surprise came when i repotted them from 3 3-inch pots to one 10 inch pot. They were growing so densely in those pots that separating the rhizomes was sort of like untangling velcro. Some were actually fused together. In the end there were enough plants to populate the whole pot.

The second surprise i noticed yesterday. The petioles and outsides of the leaves were slowly turning red! So it appears that my "Typical" flytraps are going to turn into red dragons :D

On an unrelated note, my copy of "The Savage Garden" arrived from amazon today as well. I gotta say it's a very well done book, and the full color pictures are dazzling.
