I do have a question for ICPS-Bob. How sure are you that a 1955 Venus'Fly Trap is a wild specimen? Are you 100% or some other percentage value?

Let me get this straight. So S.Purpurea and S.Venosa are the exact same thing. The only thing that differs is the location of the plants?

Another question here.. I asked CZ Plants for a quote and the staff there gave me a direct answer. The total was 63.00 EURO which is $92.00 Canadian. Will I have to pay GST & PST since it is coming here to Canada? or just pay the European taxes?

Hope this is in the right forum!
Has anyone heard of CZplants.com? They are in Europe and want to know if anyone has ordered from them? If you do order from them, do you have to pick up your order at the airport or does it get delivered right to your door? Please keep in mind I am in Canada.

This is another cultivar that interests me. Does anyone know where I can get some info on it? I have looked all over Google and it didn't come up with anything in regards to this specific clone. I would like to know where I can purchase this plant in cultures or bare root if possible and be able to ship internationally.
Thank you, Jonathan

Why the interest in this specific selection? The owner of the plants describes the variety as "typical" and it isn't unique. It was a mass produced plant from a Woolworths dept. store. Well the reason is because it is the closest vft to the wild ones. That variety is actually taken from a wild form back in 1955 and since then it has been produced via TC,Division & propagated through other techniques. I am a stickler for naturals and I know it sounds strange but that's just the way I am. I don't even like unnatural hybrids of Sarracenia,Nepenthes or Drosera or any other plant for that matter. I like natural beauty and not man made beauty in plants to be honest. I don't want a Flytrap that has a TC induced mutation is what I am trying to say. I want one that is as close to the wild form gene as possible without the effect of TC bringing out a certain characteristic. Because TC induced ones are well man made to bring out a characteristic. Here's the description: BZ 1955 is a colorful, vigorous and historical Venus Flytrap, the very first Venus Flytrap bought by well-known United States carnivorous plant grower and expert Bob Ziemer in 1955 from the Woolworth Five and Dime store on Shattuck Avenue in Berkeley, California. This Venus Flytrap has been in continuous cultivation since 1955 and shared by division and more recently by tissue culture propagation." In 1955 all of the plants sold in stores were harvested from the wild or were offspring from plants that were harvested from the wild, so it's the closest thing that you will find.

I hope this is in the right category.
Does anyone know where I can purchase some BZ 1955 Venus' Fly Trap seeds? I live in Canada btw.

What is the difference between Sarracenia Purpurea & S.Venosa? I virtually see no difference.
An answer would be great! Thanks!

Understandable, I hope I haven't offended anyone. You are right, there is a serious problem about poaching plants from the wild. I just never thought of that before I posted. Sorry!

Where about's are the best places to see CP's in the wild besides the Green swamp in North or South Carolina? If you specify an area please put a list of species that you could find. Perhaps just for interest we should start up a forum in regards to this, as it may be interesting to see what is in those specific areas.

I believe "The Green Swamp" has been drained already so there are no more CPs there, unfortunately. That's sad

Thanks for the replies! Now I haven't seen any S.Flava Cut Throats in the post above but are they still in "The Green Swamp"? And are they hybrids or natural forms?

Hello everyone,
I have contacted a place that has Venus Fly Traps for sale. They said that they where a "Species". What does that mean exactly? Does that mean it is an unnamed Typical? Or does it mean it is the type that grows in the wild? Or some other answer?
If anyone can answer this question for me that would be awesome!
