Could you post a picture with a ruler near the longest of the dewy leaves? I want to see how mine compares (I don't have a giant I don't think, I just have some seed from someone on here). But, mine last night ate a big bug, looks maybe like a male lightning bug. I thought it was too big and that it'd just mutilate the goo. I tried to pull it off but it grabed the leaf tight, so I decided to do it later when it let go. Well, an hour later I looked and it was held fast. 3 of the legs and an antennae were stuck. This morning I checked again and every hair on that leaf is holding the bug (but only about half is actually touching the bug, the other half are all stuck together holding 3 legs in one place). It is too low, I was trying to bend another leaf to hold it but the others are all long so that didn't work ;-)
I love D. Capensis, the stuff is impossible to kill. Trust me, I can kill a CP no problem. I went about 2 weeks without watering because I had run out of distilled water and lost 3 of my kinds of sundews, now I have only capensis. I have them indoors but I also have some other plants so I have gnats in the soil. Well, I have many FEWER gnats now that my drosera is flourishing again ;-) I have had two flowers, right now another of the plants is putting up the flower stalk.
What is sad about my story though is out of the two flower sets I had I had a ton of seed, I planted them and so far have only had two plants come up. There were gnats in the peat though, I wonder if maybe they ate the seeds? I don't really know, all I know is not a lot have sprouted yet. I am trying to get several square feet of capensis though. I need to expand my drosera repetoire though.
