I'm going crazy over the new Dionaea cultivar. Can't wait until these come to the states!

The plant is now in quite wide circulation in Europe, though still expensive. I just wish he'd named it 'Red Sawtooth'... ;D

Wow! Very cool , that Dionaea is quite small however. The name took me by surprise. I believe I had heard of Nepenthes talangensis × maxima 'Lady Pauline' in the past but never seen a picture --- stunning! ~NeciFiX

Perhaps there are different plants being circulated as "Red Sawtooth". Coloration is often a function of light intensity. This is what Miroslav Srba says in his CPN article: Here is a plant that I received last year labeled "Red Sawtooth", which seems to fit the description of ‘Bohemian Garnet’. I am growing it outside in full sun. It looks a bit ragged because it is recovering from being transplanted a week ago.
