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!

Isn't it a different clone from "Red Sawtooth"?

The teeth are in between dente and sawtooth in appearance and the plant seems to have more green in it.

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:

Therefore I ask all growers who obtained their plants from my collection to change the labels of any plants called “red sawtooth” to the new established name Dionaea ‘Bohemian Garnet’.

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.
