Question
Hi, I purchased two VFTs but I don't know how to tell which
one is a low giant and which one is the Big Vigourous. They
both look the same. Could you help me distinguish between the
two?

Answer
Hello Bridgette,

That is the trouble with Venus Flytraps. They are all from the same species, just slight variations. I do not actually worry about such distinctions due to that fact. I have one Flytrap that has shown genetic proclivities for sawtooth, piranha, typical, and many in betweens. The bottom line is that a Venus Flytrap is just that, a Venus Flytrap. That does not mean that there are no slight genetic variations typical to one form or another, but it is just not easy to tell those differences between some forms. I look at kind of like brand names. Just because a handbag has a particular brand name does not necessarily mean that it is different from another in any meaningful way, other than price that is.

Perhaps one of the other experts that really specializes in Venus Flytraps will have more specific information about what to look for in each variation.
