Hello all!

Sometimes my U. vulgaris have red traps, and I can't discover the reason.
This rarely happens, but when it happens, all the traps turn red. Well, not
really red, violet (well, I've already seen one with almost black traps!).

Anyone knows what's the cause? Anyway, they're much more beautiful this
way!

Good growing,
Miguel
