Hi Folks, Regarding the difference between Red VFTs, I grow 6
 different clones of them ( Royal Red, Red Dragon, Clayton's Red
 Sunset, Clayton's Volcanic Red, Green Dragon and Big Red). All
 plants are grown under identical conditions: soil type, water
 source, sun exposure, pot size and winter dormancy. I can truly
 say there are some subtle differences in each. Mostly the
 difference lies in their colors. The Royal Red and Green Dragon
 display more green then the Red Dragon does, but by far the Red
 Dragon is more of an aggressive grower then the other Red VFTs.
 Clayton's Red Sunset and Volcanic Red are nice plants, but look
 similar to the Royal Red, but displays less green then the Royal
 Red. Big Red has an entirely different look then all the other red
 VFTs do. The color is similar to the Red Dragon except not as
 dark. It's petioles are long and slender measuring up to 12 inches
 across from trap to trap. This information is based on adult size
 plants, not juvenile. All Red VFTs seem to go through different
 stages of color when growing from seedlings to adult plants. My 2
 cents worth. Charles Brewer Va. Beach, Va.
