Description

Dionaea muscipula ‘Giant Clam’ is a cultivar made by J.Srbova, M.Srba, that produces traps up to 5 cm in length. The marginal lashes are reduced to jagged, triangular projections along the margin of the trap lobes. The edge of the trap lobes variably undulates, particularly in adult plants. The interior surfaces of the traps are bright red, while the lobe margins and all other parts are yellowish green. Occasionally, a red line may be present on the outer surface of the traps, below the margins of the lobes.

Please note: the main photo is of a mature plant. The trap characteristics and colouration will depend on the plant maturity and lighting.
