I've had 2 of the hookeri "orange/red" flower for me, this first already resulting in seeds and the latter showing pink in its flowers

Also, the "Ivan's 3-Way" spatulata began flowering, and while I haven't caught open flowers, I found buds of both pure white and deep pink flowered forms

Finally other variants of this cross growing out, will be cool to compare them

These guys are growing out well, and my other filiformis forms are starting to wake up now. Sadly however, I appear to have lost ALL of my tracyi to a freeze in the fridge

I like the D. sp. "Lantau Island" x capensis typical. I'll be interested in seeing what full-sized plants of that cross look like. Congrats on the D. cistiflora - I've yet to bring that species to blooming successfully.
 
  • #83
The Lantau x capensis are full sized and flowering, have been for a while. Though, I assume they can get larger since they are all potted together.
And I haven't seen any cistiflora flowers either, so not quite a full success yet...

Dear Carlton, how do you label the delicate drosera flowers?

I'm interested in both large capensis, and burmanii variety crossing projects, and I was wondering what your system of keeping track of it all is.
Also, do you think crossing burmanii with other burmanii would result in interesting plants?

Lastly, thank you for the photos of your hybrids, it's awesome and I visit this thread often.

For hybridization they're labeled with various color threads, each species a different color. The crossed flower is tied with the thread of the species it was pollinated with, and vice versa if I go both directions.
And as far as burmannii: I have seeds right now I'm waiting to sprout of a green plant with pink flowers crossed with the white flowered, red colored "Humpty Doo" locality. And, really the only plants you can cross burmannii with anyway are other burmannii and sessilifolia.

I'm going to be trying a few giant "Hanns" locations X "Humpty Doo".

Keep us updated on the burmanii, my favorite sundew :).

Great-looking 'dews! That's a very nice regia.
 
  • #89
Great pics. Love the graomogolensis. I also enjoy looking at all the different hybrids you make. Quick question - When you sow seeds on your chosen media, do you just sprinkle them on as if you're adding a pinch of salt to a recipe, or do you try to space them out a bit more to give the seedlings room to grow without competition being too close?
 
  • #90
Seeds are sprinkled across the pot, and I never use the whole batch (however many it may be). If it's a small number of seeds, I purposely spread them out. If a large number, relatively evenly scattering.

My capensis "wide leaf" are becoming variable. Some have very thick leaves

I heard comment recently these guys were difficult....

This one, however, is a bit of a pain. Never stops growing, but never gets bigger either

4 of my 8 D. felix are preparing to flower

A mystery spatulata plant in the wrong pot (since confirmed as one of my white-flowered forms) threw up the most bizarre fused flower stalk

It appears I may lose the flower stalk on my FL Red filiformis. Sad, because the plants are doing very well, and two of my intermedia forms are in flower now
D. filiformis FL All Red by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
And I lost my tracyi parent plants, but a bunch of dormant seeds made up for it
D. tracyi by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
And these guys have begun producing white flowers. They kind of look like a new route to D. intermedia plants..
D. anglica Alakai Swamp, HI x spatulata ("white flower" x 'Tamlin') by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
Alright, these guys are suspicious. I received them directly from the ICPS seedbank manager, however they are turning out nearly identical to the "burmannii green" plants I got from the same source a couple years ago.....

Wowee, I really like the D. Capensis, Graomogolensis, & Filiformis. I have never even seen a Drosera schizandra, but it looks like a deadly Spinach plant!

You know, I was thinking the very same thing.

Never seen a schizandra? Wow, they're rather famous plants.....and yes, the joke around them is that they're really carnivorous lettuce...
