Here is my D. scorpioides forest. Does anyone else grow this plant this way?? I have some in my Cephalotus pot also individually... But I like this look better!! This is a 3" round pot...

Heres a pot of D. nitidula x pulchella. It wasnt exactly planned, just worked out that way all by itself.


Cheers

My D. spatulata rotted out when I let it get as thick as Andrew's there, but I still like the crowded look (except when I'm trying to pick up the pot.) I've got a big tray of D. capensis and U. tricolor that's pretty well overcrowded, and even a little moldy, but everything is still going gangbusters, even the carpet moss.

I really like Drosera forests, they are just... beautiful. A lot more beautiful than just a single plant

BTW steve, that picture is AWESOME! i've never been able to grow any pygmy well except for scorpiodes...

I have a whole bunch of capensis seeds sprouting so I may end up with something like that soon.

This is what happens when you plant a Ping too close to burmannii.
My poor little 'Pirouette'.

Hehe, very cool everyone! I'm going for something along these lines soon. My past experiences have lead to mould, but those were in a closed container. My only turn off of doing it with D. scorpioides is the fact that it'd probably be a PAIN to get the gemmae from any but the very outside ones. Once again, very nice everyone!

I have always LOVED the look of Drosera forests

I've been trying to get one going myself for the past couple months with D. burmannii, D. binata and D. capensis but I don't have any great results just yet. In good time, perhaps...

...I do have a couple D. spatulatas that are quite forest-like. I'll try to get some pictures up soon.

Great pictures so far everyone!

Steve, Andrew: it has a very Christmasy look! I prefer a swamp:
