Dionaea muscipula 'Blanche Hermine'
A spontaneous mutation resulting from a division of Dionaea "Camouflage," a variegated Venus flytrap that died from frost over the winter of 2008 and 2009 and is no longer in cultivation, 'Blanche Hermine' is a mostly white or pale-yellow Venus flytrap. "Camouflage" was discovered by Guillaume Bily on the same day as 'Alien' and 'Coquillage' at the May 2008 Carniflora, a carnivorous plant nursery in the Netherlands, open day. Dionaea 'Blanche Hermine' is named after a very good white beer, La Blanche Hermine, produced by the brewery Brasserie Lancelot in Britain, the same location where the plant was born. Blanche Hermine is also the name of a weasel-like animal of the family of Mustélidae (Mustela ermina), which is commonly found throughout Europe. In winter, the fur of Mustela ermina becomes very white except the end of the tail, which remains black. When a leaf on Dionaea 'Blanche Hermine' begins to die, the trap usually turns black. The contrast of a dying black trap with the white leaf-base reminded Guillaume of the winter dress of Mustela ermina.
Guillaume assumed the small whitish plant would die after the reserves of the "Camouflage" bulb division were exhausted. But much to his surprise, 'Blanche Hermine' resumed growth in the spring of 2009! Though the leaves are mostly white in appearance, they must still have some traces of chlorophyll in them that allow the plant to photosynthesize.
Trap interiors can develop a slight pink blush. Due to the lack Dionaea muscipula 'Blanche Hermine'

Dionaea 'Blanche Hermine »
Une mutation spontanée résultant d'une division de Dionaea "camouflage", un attrape-mouche de Vénus varié qui est mort du gel pendant l'hiver de 2008 et 2009 et n'est plus dans la culture, «Blanche Hermine» est une dionée principalement blanche ou jaune pâle. "Camouflage" a été découvert par Guillaume Bily le même jour comme «Alien» et «Coquillage» à mai 2008 Carniflora, une pépinière de plantes carnivores aux Pays-Bas, journée portes ouvertes. Dionaea 'Blanche Hermine "est le nom d'une très bonne bière blanche, La Blanche Hermine, produite par la brasserie Brasserie Lancelot en Grande-Bretagne, l'endroit même où l'usine est né. Blanche Hermine est aussi le nom d'un animal de fouine de la famille des mustélidés de (Mustela ermina), qui se trouve couramment dans toute l'Europe. En hiver, la fourrure de Mustela ermina devient très blanc, sauf le bout de la queue, qui reste noir. Quand une feuille sur Dionaea 'Blanche Hermine »commence à mourir, le piège se transforme souvent noir. Le contraste d'un piège noir mourir avec la feuille à base de blanc rappelle Guillaume de la robe d'hiver de Mustela ermina.
Guillaume a pris la petite plante blanchâtre mourrait après les réserves de la division de l'ampoule "Camouflage" ont été épuisées. Mais à sa grande surprise, "Blanche Hermine" reprise de la croissance au printemps 2009! Bien que les feuilles sont blancs pour la plupart en apparence, ils doivent encore avoir quelques traces de la chlorophylle, Dionaea 'Blanche Hermine "est une plante à croissance extrêmement lente. Au printemps 2012, l'usine d'origine "Blanche Hermine" n'avait pas encore atteint la taille de floraison.
