New Cultivar, Dionaea ‘Justina Davis’

Submitted by admin on Saturday, 22 May 2010View Comments

This new cultivar name designates a bright green plant that has been in cultivation for many years. It is characterized by the complete lack of orange or red pigmentation in the leaves, even when the plant is grown in full sun. It is commonly grown with unregistered names such as “all green, “green traps,” or “heterodox,” but beware, not all clones are truly lacking orange or red pigmentation! The electric green leaves of the true ‘Justina Davis’ can be mistaken for fresh young traps that have not yet had time to develop mature characteristics. The name ‘Justina Davis’ commemorates the wife of Arthur Dobbs, who was a mere 15 years old when she married the governor of North Carolina in 1762
