AND a 3 cotyledon seedling. Neat!

A few pics from this morning.

I've got about 10 seedlings with carnivorous growth, another 5-10 growing cotyledon and some seeds yet to germinate.

There are about 4 seedlings with very stark red traps growing. Cool!

Some photos from the weekend. These pictures are days 48 & 49 since sowing the seeds.

The red traps are still very small and aren't the greatest pictures, but I'm very pleased with how DARK they're coming in. There are four seedlings that have this dark maroon colour.

All told, there are between 20-25 seedlings in various states of growth. A few of the faster growers are working on opening their 3rd trap.

I wanted to be cool like Maiden, so I attempted to feed one of the larger traps yesterday. Haha, it didn't go too well.

The traps are still a bit too small for my fat fingers (and toothpicks) to feed, so I'm going to wait a few weeks before trying again.

From today:

Best friends:

3 traps and none have opened:

Can finally see trigger hairs:

I'm hoping for at least one ALL green plant:

Who is this straggler 54 days later? Ha!

Small petioles with big traps:
