It has taken the plant just about 2 and a half years to finally flower for me.
I grow this plant in full sun outside spring to fall. Then in the winter I bring it inside to the windowsill.
It is planted in a 8" plastic pot. The soil is equal parts perlite, play sand, and vermiculite. It gets watered twice a week, sparingly.
I've noticed that the Drosophyllum lusitanicum is similar to Drosera flowers that only stay open a few hours for a day.
Here's the best shot I have of a flower so far.
If you are there when the plant is flowering, take a toothpick and tickle the anthers and stigma. You will get a much larger production of seeds in those pods.
