Looking great, I really like that jonesii. The mystery flava looks a lot like Karen Oudean's 'Blush' clone which was originally collected along the South Santee river in South Carolina. Can't say that is what it is for sure of course, but that particular shape and lid are within the normal range of variation.

Just Amazing!!!!! Great job DJ!!

Great plants like always DJ! The bog looks awesome.

Thank you all for your kind comments, and thanx to the ones who shed some light on the mystery flava. It will certainly be interesting to see how it develops when it starts producing bigger pitchers.

Wow! 'Feels like a photographic tour of a large cp nursery. How many of the Drosophyllum plants do you suppose are there?

Thank you Mark. There are technically 2 drosos in the pot, the 3rd is a stem that fell over and formed a plant and is still attached to the other one with no roots of its own. Each flower stalk put up between 5 and 7 flowers each. This is the second round of flower stalks for 2 of the plants in this pot and I am interested to see if they will produce seed as well as the first round.

Thank you Travis, I would love to see that and your sarrs and flytraps probably would enjoy it also. Move to Oregon and I will dig you a nice one, haha.

Funny you should say that.. Jerry and I were just talking about moving the family out to his neck of the woods.

Beautiful plants....and that's the 2nd best looking plain whorl I've seen on these forums!

Thank you Jim. This is my first Tarnock flower, so never looked at one close up before. I was under the impression they are sterile/cannot be pollinated, but there is what looks to be a big seed pod forming. I did play around and roll a paintbrush with pollen from other sarr flowers inside it a few days in a row shortly after it opened, but never expected to see a seed pod form. If it is a seed pod, I don't know if the seed would even be viable, but will see what happens.

Reviving this thread with the 2013 bog awakening. Not a lot of pitchers opened yet, but posted lots of flowers in the "Flower watch 2013" thread.

D. capensis alba. Surprised it came back after spending the winter outside, did not think they were as hardy as the typical capes.

Too nice, Djoni. That first picture looks like a display at a botanical garden!

 

[DJ57]

Some of my sarr seedlings, some started by me from seed and some gotten as seedlings (a big thank you to Fred P., Whimgrinder, Kulamauiman).

The pics I took of Kulamauiman's S. leucophylla seedlings did not come out clear at all, so I will post those later when the rain stops long enough to get a decent pic.

That bog is terrific, DJ! I'm envious. You overwinter the binata type Drosera outside? Interesting!

 

[mass]

the bog looks amazing Deej! Can't wait for mine to look half that nice..
The filiformis you sent last year are just now starting to wake up. We got a late start for spring this year.

Thank you for your kind words. The D. binata giant disappears over winter in the bog, dying back completely, then comes back from the roots in spring. That "bush" in the photo started off as one little plant in 2010 and has spread out from the roots.

Thank you Travis! I have no doubt yours will look the same and I am looking forward to the pics.
