A few new shots to add! It's been overcast and rainy again so pardon the quality.. hard to get decent focus and depth.
Someone mentioned the D. peltata was reminiscent of a vft.. so here you go!
I recently fed this one with some bits of bloodworms and when the piece is large enough the whole leaf will fold up like a VFT trap.
More D. macrophylla breaking out. This one is var. monantha
And one of my favorites is up and about now also.
D. lowriei
I was formerly considered a subspecies of D. stolonifera. So far if i had to compare the two of them they have never grown very tall. But this is the second year of growth for me. need to see what happens over time as tubers get older and more established. Both stolonifera and rupicola have never gotten anywhere near as tall as D. peltata but who knows
Forgot to make a note. All of them are being grown in 1 gallon or #1 nursery pots. Many seem to need a certain soil depth to do well over a long period of time. Have seen them put down a root at the end of the growing season to pull the tubers down to the "right" level and that root was working its way out of the drain holes of the pot.
D. stolonifera
they start out like this when the stem breaks through the soil
develop buds
then branch out and make stems with carnivorous leaves
