Wow, amazing dews peanuts! I especially love the huge clump of D. binata you have growing there. Just beautiful!

By the way, I can't see the third picture either.

I'll try to post some pictures tomorrow when I have daylight. D. burmannii anyone?

If you right click on the third pic and go to show image you can see it, the site it is on doesn't allow hotlinking.
Thats why you shouls use one of the free image hosts.

Ok got the third pic in and i do say you have taken some really awsome pics of the dews. I wish my cheesy cam could get close up shots like that. My cam wont show the dew on the CPs when i take pics, i will try and get my girlfriend over here in the next few days see if she can get some close up shots for me.

Well, as I promised, here's some shots of one of my colonies of  D. burmannii  . I got a bit carried away with the photos, but I just had to post them all since this plant is so cool. Enjoy!

And last but not least, a picture of one of my colonies of  D. spatulata  :

LLeopardGGecko, WOW!!! Dude that is outragious dew going on there, FANTASTIC pics... You can come to my house any day and take some for me....

Mitch, I just noticed now that D. burmanni's outer-most tentacles are long and rectangular, not round. Oh, and awesome pics.

The outer tentacles are there to grab hold of prey and bring it closer to the inner tentacles for digestion.

Exactly. The outer tentacles (or rententive glands as I've heard them referred to as) are the ones that move super-quick. Within about 10 seconds of a live bug being placed on a D. burmannii leaf, you can actually see the outer tentacles move in towards the prey. It's quite amazing

TOTAL COOLNESSSSSSSS!
MAN, I can't make my dews hold dew for long... for some reson

Still, the pics are soooo amazing!!! Im drooling here...

 

[chloroplast]

Mitch, as usual, very nice pics! You can really see a remarkable difference between the different glands in those pics!

Dimka, most likely reason is not enough light. What is your lighting setup?

 

[LLeopardGGecko]

Thanks for the kind words everyone!

And Dimka, what Gawd says is true. If your sundews aren't keeping their dew it's most likely due to poor lighting. Perhaps you just need to bump up your wattage.
