A few random pics...

I'm back again! Found a couple more things worth taking pictures of...
D. ultramafica x spatulata is flowering...
U. blanchetii "WF, chapada diamantia" IIRC:
D. capillaris "Long arm, Belem"
D. venusta lookin decent...
D. spatulata "Gold coast, Queensland"
D. ultramafica x spatulata plantlet...
D. rorimae from leaf cuttings actually look half decent. Nothing like on the Tepuis. But restarting from leaves certainly made better looking plants:
Thanks for looking!

BioZest
zesty.
@Biozest, thanks!
@Sundrew, thanks, and fixed... The flower isn't much to see anyways...
@mass: Basically, Fernando was going through the old herbariums of D. ascendens and he realized that it was different from what they had been IDing as ascendens, it had hairy flower scapes and some other key differences. The "ascendens" in cultivation will be given a new name soon, but for now, villosa var. latifolia or D. ascendens will work (probably sticking with ascendens until the publication is done, I'll post info here when it is done). Anyways, the true ascendens is not yet in cultivation because it was just rediscovered. It may be with some European growers, but certainly not in North America.
Fear not! Your plants are still rare! They just aren't D. ascendens.
Taxonomic jibber jabber indeed, but I've seen pics of the plants at ICPS and they are rather different.

You are all knowing and omnipotent after all! 
P. 'Crystal' flower:
"The only capensis variety that does not form stems" is the only capensis in my collection that has a stem:
D. "whatever"
D. capensis "alba" x aliciae:
Took all the plants that were in bags, and put them in one big tupperware:
D. regia seedlings are really red:
D. hamiltonii:
Cephalotus clumps are getting bigger:
N. truncata "Paisan highlands"
N. 'Lady Pauline'
N. veitchii x talangensis:
The first N. sanguinea pitcher I've gotten in months:
U. humboldtii:
My one and only Sphagnum culture:
D. schizandra:
Thanks for looking!

I bought the small one from HB listed as BE-3203 (I assume yours is the same due to size). Matching this with BE's availability list they are an assortment from 43 clones which would explain the differences. Hopefully mine starts coloring up!
Ps. Check out my latest post in pitcher of the month Jan.
@Paul: Thanks! It's the onky Drosera hybrid I grow on purpose, and it is quite a nice one.
@Drew: That explains the differences between the plants in cultivation. I'll PM you on OCPS about the singaporegardentek!
@Pebes: Thanks homeslizzle!
@Mass: Those two don't form stems at the moment. The red form has never really grown well at all. The one pictured is the "narrow leaf" form which does not make stems according to the savage garden. But whatever, it's a nice plant.
