Mine is not currently at "giant" state, so no I won't be. They can get large, but right now it's smaller than the largest of my red leaf plants.

Any idea of how fast they grow compared with typicals? I'm thinking of buying one in the spring, tho I must say that the info and photos about it are pretty rare.

Your plants look beautiful, and so healthy!

Thus far growth is not appreciably different (but, if I can manage to provide a good space for them opinions on that may change if they get up to size).

One day, I will manage to grow more than just the peltata complex for more than a couple seasons...

I've managed to get nearly all my pygmies to make gemmae however (still waiting on scorpioides); now just waiting to see flowers on this guy again:
D. platystigma "A" by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
And maybe some first flowers off these guys..

These are flowering again though (one of which I've attempted crossing)

Also crossed this guy:
D. capillaris 'Emerald's Envy' by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
With this one; hoping I can learn some things from such a hybrid
D. capillaris "FL Long Arm" by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
Biggest news here though: after many years, I have finally been graced with blooms on my magnificent D. neocaledonica. Flowers are huge compared to the plant, tinged just slightly yellow when they senesce, and I have crossed it already either one or both ways with oblanceolata, spatulata "Beenak," sp. Lantau Island, capillaris' Emerald's Envy', and...trinervia

That first capensis is very wide leaved. Have you tried breeding it to see how far you can push the trait?
 
  • #146
As I've mentioned to a couple people on FB, that first capensis is only about 3-4" across right now and not what a mature plant should be expected to look like when in proper health and full growth (additionally, none of my wide-leaves have yet to bloom for me so attempts at breeding/crossing are not possible yet).
 
  • #147
Freaking amazing!!! After months of searching, I finally was able to buy a d. Rotundifolia. The sundew inmost desired for some reason lol. I plan to get more and have a sweet collection like the one you have.

They have white flowers too (no seeds, so hoping the tubers actually live through summer this time)

Can I see pictures of all your pygmies, pygmies are my favorite.

That citrina flower mutation is very cool. Does it do that consistently?
 
  • #151
I post pictures of what I take over the month, so the pygmies I posted are what I'm showing this month. All the ones I have you can find previously in the thread however.
Grey moss: that's just a somatic mutation. Considering this was the only plant that bloomed and the first time I've managed it, I highly doubt it's something that will happen on a regular basis (as mentioned, only the first two flowers were double).

What type of pot is the regia growing in? I'm really diggin the look.
 
  • #154
Nice filiformis. Good to see that mine isn't the only one that isn't actually red.

A handmade ceramic pot, designed to somewhat look like lava rock.

Nice filiformis. Good to see that mine isn't the only one that isn't actually red.
It's actually plenty red, just doesn't show up against the background of the general greenhouse and my camera likes to decrease the red in my photos somewhat. However, as it's grown indoors it does not turn solid red like it would outside.

That's quite the fuzz on your outdoor plants. What's producing it?
