Venus Flytrap Akai Ryu - Red Dragon Venus Flytrap - Live Carnivorous Plant The Akai Ryu Venus Flytrap (Dionaea muscipula ?Akai Ryu?) is a striking cultivar of the classic Venus flytrap, known for its deep red coloration. A rare and eye-catching carnivorous plant prized for its deep red traps and dramatic appearance.
