Drosera capensis x adelae

neon-eon

Stop having a boring tuna, stop having a boring li
Ok, here's the deal:
I have a D. capensis and an D. adelae, both with almost mature flowers. I am wondering if anyone has ever had any experience with cross-breeding these two. Also, does anyone know if the hybrid would be sterile or fertile.

Any help would be appreciated,

They are too unrelated; most likely nothing would happen.

And I was seriously starting to think that I was going to create some amazing hybrid, LOL. (no joke)
I guess I'll just self them. It should still be cool though, considering it'll be my first time pollenating plants.

Thanks,

-Gabe
 
the D. adelae dosent self seed.... at leats i dont think they do. its flowers last a long time though and are very pretty.

ya they smell like strawberrys or something
 
A, D. capensis can be selfed though, right?
 
Drosera capensis pollinates itself too, even without intervention.
 
It is possible to self-pollinate D. adelae but the amount of seed produced (if you are lucky) is generally incredibly small, ie- a couple of seeds per seed capsule.
 
Thanks for clearing things up for me
