Mass,Remove my entry before Ron has a baby.
I've got a couple flowering tomentosas here as well. But my plants are probably about a 3rd the size of yours. I didn't even know they got that big!
Quite the beast you've got there my friend.
WELL THEN.. I WAS going to enter a D. hilaris this month, but since I got it from Mark.. it just doesn't feel right. Going up against him, with a plant I got from him seems like borderline cheating.. At any rate, here's an update pic for you Mark. They're doing swimmingly: http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n575/mass2256/IMG_5781_zps41b67615.jpg
As for my entry this month, think I'll enter a plant that Mark got from me!
D. villosa (Serra de Ibitipoca, South East of Minas Gerais, SE Brazil) (front most plant)
If the leading expert on south American Drosera confirmed the incorrect identification, I would listen.
Editing the original post only to make the incorrect name in bold after the fact can only be interpreted as an invitation to more public conflict.
I don't see what good can be gained
just my 2 cents.
These are my D. ascendens (Itarare). Doesn't look anything like my so called D. villosa.

I'm just going by what CZ plants sells them as. Perhaps they need to mature a bit more?

Nice plants! Just wanted to let you know that this is the same species as the one you had labelled as D.villosa, which I've called D.ascendens for the past 20 years, and which will have a new name in a few weeks.
Best wishes,
Fernando Rivadavia
P.S. The Itararé plants are one of my personal collections, from the early 90's.
