Everything looks great, keep it up..
 
Haha your plants are awesome! Why do you always make it sounds like they're all on death's door?

For some reason, when I saw your 'adelae' (and mind you I barely know anything about dews - maybe NaN will chime in) all I could think was ascendens ??? I'm perfectly sure I'm wrong though :lol:

I love the peas sign.
 
These are fantastic! Beautiful plants!

"In Jimscott's yard, the peas eat you!"
 
The "adelae" reminds me of pics I've seen of villosa, or one of the more common related species. It could be ascendends, as thez said, but that species I've always seen as having flatter leaves.
 
definitely not adelae. Looks more like villosa, or some sort of ascendens maybe.
Love that utric tank. and LOVE your D. hartmeyerorum.
 
Gorgeous plants, Jim!

To your adelae dubiosity, I wouldn't hazard a guess as to an ID based on that one picture, but -

Here's a drosera adelae (photo from Feb 2010) in the process of forming its first adult leaves. It may give you an idea about your plant.

file.php
 
It appears to have the shaggy hairs on the petioles and undersides of the lamina that D. villosa gets its name from. Can't really tell from the photo.
The petioles appear too short to be D. villosa which should be 1.5-3.5x the length of the lamina so D. ascendens would seem more likely. This is based on St. Hilaire's diagnoses from 1824. The South America Drosera are under going taxonomic revision so it might be better to wait until the monographs are published. Even then these need to be peer reviewed and accepted by the ICBN.

Of course it may not be South American at all. If the shaggy hairs are not there than it is something else.

Do you have the earlier photograph? Photos from different angles would help also.
 
i've noticed that younger villosa plants have shorter petioles, but they elongate over time...

i wish something like that happened to me...

Adelae grown under lower humidity contitions will also make shaggy hairs on the backside of the leaves... Mine do at least, and yes I'm sure that I have adelae. Not saying I can possitively ID your plant though.
You can't really see the hairs in this pic, except maybe on the developing leaves. Anyway, it's there... Or just look at Veronis' pic

Thank you for the compliments! These are the best of what I have leftover.

I lost Sarracenias & VFT's because the days of warmth at the beginning of March was followed by a cold snap that was colder than they could handle. I lost more than half of those plants, including nearly every leucophylla and the cutivars thereof, especially Schnell's Ghost & Hurricane Creek White. Those are hard to come by! I lost a lot of pygmys sundews when I transferred them from their existing pots to tall pots. The transition from inside to outside further decimated most of them. I only have a handfull left. Grow rack sundews also suffered. I'm guessing that they slowly died due to the creek water I was using. I have since gone back to the going through the 'red tape' of bringing home the expired purified water from work. I may also have to break down and get rid of the media I have and just start fresh. The utrics also declined but fared the least worst of the other major genera. I don't keep Nepenthes anymore. I just don't have the space, money, or facilities to do them justice. I've also determined that keeping cool, moist plants, like Helis, tubeorous sundews, and Drosphyllum are wasted on me. I just can't reproduce conditions for them.

D. adelae

I have no idea what that plant is or how it got there. Can anyone ID the VFT?

looks to me like a red dragon, but I'm not really a VFT expert so I'm not 100% sure. And as for the dew, as you may know, drosera seeds can take years to germinate; they can just sit there on the soil in a sort of inactive state until the environment changes/ allows them to germinate, so it's possible the seller of the original plant or soil somehow had a stray seed get in there. For example, I've had a certain Sarracenia/VFT bog for about 2-3 years, and just a couple weeks ago a D. intermedia seedling popped up. I have no intermedia in my collection at all so the seed certainly didn't come from me. Therefore I am left to believe that the seed came from the vendor of one of the plants in my bog or the soil.

Whatever it is, it's doing well. Maybe one day it will flower...
 
  • #17
From the newer shots, I think it's adelae again. Just one that has been subjected to more light than it's used to...
 
  • #18
Your plants certainly don't look like "survivors," they are beautiful. Love that U. gibba tank!
 
  • #19
I've had decent lighting on D. adelae before but they looked bronzed, with green still on its leaves. This is all red and appears to germinated from a seed. IDK....

GREAT growing Jim!
