Isn't Audrey 2 a cross between a VFT and a butterwort? Anyways, I am no Botanist, nor a Taxonomist, but I feel that classification of carnivorous plants, as genus and species, has been muddled. The experts can't agree upon how many legitimate species there are, within a given genus, and its seems that anything I've ever learned in Biology, associated with the concept of speciation (ontogeny & recapitulation)no longer strictly applies.

I'm also concerned that the classification has mixed analogy (filling a similar niche) with homology (structure) and whether certain plants, displaying similar characteristics, but very different geographical locations, are truly related, or as related as what has been deemed. Personally, I think there are a lot fewer true species out there, based upon what has the ability to mate with another, producing viable offspring. But that is conjecture on my part! And I wonder what these plants were like in Gondwanaland.

Personally, I think that hybridizing different sundews with VFT's may be too much of a genetic stretch, but maybe attempting this with the Aldrovanda may be more workable.

Feed me Seymore!

Yeah, I hear you. Actually, I heard of a cross between a butterwort and it's closest relative, the bladderwort. It has flat greasy leaves above ground and bladders on it's roots. Interesting. The problem with crossing Alovandra with Dionaea would be trying to figure out what environment to place it in. Alovandra does have 34 chromosomes like D. regia too.

i saw one on www.cobraplant.com photo gallerie. it had trigger haiars and tenticals

Can you show me?
Thanks,
