Hello Sung and List,
I haven't payed this much mind, but to note that I feel your price
is too high - but that's becuase (Oh no, he's gonna say it!!!) I don't
really like VFT much and wouldn't even pay $30 for it. After having
seen the photo though I've changed my mind, somewhat. It is rather
unique *and* attractive to the eyes. I have been growing some all-red
clones as well as the dentata (or dentate or whatevertheheck) and have
cross pollinated them. Haven't seen any seedlings like your plant
though. Do you know where it came from, did you make it yourself?
I notice you calling it a hybrid, but it's not as there is only one
species and no subspecies or varieties of VFT. I suppose it can only
be called by a clonal name, but so far it doesn't have one until the
name is published...
On that note, I sure would like to see some of these very much so
cultivar worthy VFT's get some cultivar names. What's wrong guys?
(not directed at Sung per-sey) I mean you grow these very different
plants and don't bother to name them?!? It's not as though you have
to TC the clones to name them, just write up short article explaining
why it's different, include a good photo which clearly shows the
difference (I don't feel the photo of Sung's VFT would do, but a week
or two in stronger light should fix that) and come up with a cool name.
It's not that hard and it would end lot's of the confusion about which
clone is which, what to call them (most important) and who produced it.
Editors of the CPN will be able give you a better guide-line for
article submission, but that is really all there is to it.
Not getting off my Soap Box,
Dave Evans
P.S. what does "dentata" mean anyway? Replacement teeth for aged traps?
