Your dews always stun me! You take such great pics and have a most spectacular collection! :drool:
 
Incredibly enviable!
 
I've run out of adjectives to describe my admiration for your collection and cultivation!
Are you able to grow D. hilaris year-round in cooler temps that you have, or does it still go dormant during a bit warmer temps? I wish I had cool enough temps to get D. graminifolia to produce one leaf, let alone drool!

*insert complimentary adjective about your plants here*

How did you start the D. regia seedlings? what'd you do to get them so... alive?
 
MMmmmmm I love it. Your plants look great, the regia are looking GOOD. I also love seeing some less talked about or grown Drosera, very nice.
 
@CPlantaholic: for me, drosera hilaris goes dormant almost immediately, when the temperatures exceed 25C (and decent night temps drop cannot be provided). I dont force her to grow 'overtime' by providing her with lower temps artificially. I think the rest is very important and so is feeding her a lot during vegetation period. It is quite a fast grower when fed a lot:)

@Silenceisgod: drosera regia seeds i got from grower in UK. They were expremely fresh and large, and germinated within 10 days, which is one of the fastest germinations i have recorded. They love lots of light and cool nights (10C).

Thanx for very nice comments, BTW!:)
 
You're such a good grower, they look beautiful! particularly the D. regia's...
I am germinating some regia seeds in vitro, hope that when they grow they look like yours hehe :B
