Here is a couple of photos of one of my favourite pygmy Drosera species- Drosera pycnoblasta. I reckon the pearly white domes formed by the stipules look awesome.
Here is a single plant-
And a couple growing closely together-
Does anyone else out there grow this great little species? It can be difficult to grow, but well worth the effort.
Unlike most of my other pygmy species that I keep in a tray of water during Summer, this one is kept on a bench until the surface is quite dry. It is then added to the watertray long enough for the soil to rewet (usually about 30 minutes). It is then removed and allowed to slowly dry until the process in repeated (usually around every week or so)
