Capensis. Capensis everywhere.

S. rubra has recovered from shipping and is starting to grow again!
IMAG10391_zpslwu0vgpr.jpg


S. 'Willow Creek'. It's not an officially registered cultivar with the ICPS so I'm a bit hesitant to call it that, but I think most growers know what it is anyway. Regardless, it's a really nice plant anyway. Props to Karen and the Willow Creek Sarracenia nursery for this one!

More S. jonesii love! I'm hoping I can find a place to donate these guys in the future, seeing that I can't possibly keep them all, and they have lots of conservational value.

D. burkeana flower stalks progressing. Can't wait to see the flowers. Hopefully I'll have a giveaway soon!
IMAG10581_zpsu6k4i4yr.jpg


D. hartemeyeroum coming along nicely. So far, around 40 have germinated. The ones in Sphagnum appear to be less vigorous than their counterparts in sand/peat.

The jonesii reminded me I have some stratifying in the fridge. Should be ready to sow now :).
 
  • #26
Of the pictures I'm familiar with, I would be highly suspicious of that "burkeana." Looks more like the common tokaiensis; the actual species has very thin petioles and looks almost like a modified tropical rotundifolia....
 
  • #27
Cool! You got the D. hartemeyeroum to germinate too!
 
  • #28
@hcarlton: Interesting, I received these from another grower as seeds labeled as "D. burkeana". I looked up photos of the plant in the wild on the CP photofinder, and found that there seems to be quite a bit of variation; there were versions that looked like a tropical rotundifolia, as you said, and others that also had much thicker petioles like mine. I'm not sure if those are mislabeled or not, I'm no Drosera guru. Maybe the angle of the shot made the petioles seem fatter? I guess I'll have to wait for seeds to really know.

There is a thread here that I started a long time ago trying to answer what that species actually looked like:
http://icps.proboards.com/thread/4961

In general, the transition between petiole and lamina is heavily pronounced, even on those plants with wider petioles (which apparently may be confused ID's with D. pilosa) and more so than yours, which very closely match my various tokaiensis forms. And D. tokaiensis and forms of D. spatulata have for a long time been falsely distributed as this species.

Alright folks, now that my three week hiatus is over, time for some more crappy cell phone pics!

S. 'Willow Creek'. The newest pitchers are fantastic!

Lovely S. rubra (probably subsp. rubra) from RyanG.

D. scorpioides. I find a Sphagnum top dressing very useful when it rains.

D. nitidula x pulchella looking angry after shipping.

talangensis x robcantleyi made a lovely new pitcher. I wonder what's up with the weird raised sections on the peristome...

I love the newest pitchers on the spathulata x glabrata, the peristomes for some reason don't fold back anymore. They almost remind me a little of N. bongso.

Newest pitcher on the spathulata x platychila. I can't wait to see uppers on this guy!

Newest pitcher on the boschiana x glandulifera. Love the nectar globules!

N. ventricosa finally made a pitcher that looks ventricosa-ish.

Assorted hybrid seedlings from a trade with TF member mikulas. Thanks so much for the wonderful experience!

Promising color on the thorelii -D x veitchii!
IMAG11731_zpskbyhhcnz.jpg


I love the shape of this spathulata x glabrata pitcher. Again, almost reminiscent of N. ovata. Hmm...
IMAG11741_zpskektmkzo.jpg


My terrarium is starting to fill up nicely. I love the look of a terrarium absolutely crammed with plants.

You'll find there won't be seeds on that D. dichotoma. Currently, only a handful of D. binata varieties are self-fertile; all others need separate clones.
On a different note: now I feel like I really want a spath x platy. Got a lot of other platy hybrids now, but that one's looking nice too
 
  • #34
Thanks, that's good info to know, none of the sources I checked mentioned that. On the other hand, that also means I'm now free to try some flower stalk cuttings! The spath x platy is a real winner, easy to grow and the pitchers get noticeably larger with every leaf.

Update: I've done a bit of poking around, and I've found that my "D. burkeana" seeds came from a batch of plants raised from seed purchased from Silverhill Seeds in 2002. Silverhill Seeds operates out of South Africa and collects seed in situ, so although my plants may still be mislabeled D. pilosa or something similar, they are not D. tokaiensis or D. spatulata. Phew...

From that angle, they no longer look like my tokaiensis. They do, however, look like a natalensis relative, so it's in the ZA ballpark. Not burkeana though...
 
  • #38
It's not D. spatulata or D. tokaiensis, which is good enough for me. I'll probably be calling it Drosera sp. "South Africa" or something until I can get this all cleared up. I got the seeds in a giveaway from TF member Afrodisa, and his sources appear accurate; any input?
 
  • #39
Sorry for the long lack of updates...my setup has been undergoing some pretty significant changes in preparation for some slightly more temperamental plants that I'm expecting. I'll probably get photos of those up once they're looking presentable, so in like, a few months. :-)) In the meantime, I've procured a grow rack and moved most of the more delicate subtropical Drosera and my intermediate Neps there, where they seem to be happy so far.

N. burkei x hamata - definitely one of the nicer hamata hybrids out there.

Everything is looking great :) keep up the good work hun :) those sessifolia are gonna be crazy to separate lol! I always loved those ans burmanii dews but never been able to get one Goodluck with the field of them yr growing :D
My D. Burkeana looks kinda like yours so im not sure yrs is a miss I.D. - but then again they all kinda look like a form of Spathulata to me but with more or less paddle's. I'll pay a photo of mine see if it matches up to urs then maybe we will kno what u have lol Goodluck
