Awesome! Never seen that before! My oldest Drosera is a D. ascendens, it's considerably taller than the ones normally posted. I'll see if I can get a good shot of it some time. Very good topic.
Edit- I can seeeeeee you in the reflection. *creepy music*
I really love rosetted sundews that form tall stems. Yours is very nice. Here is a photo I found on the web taken at Cali. carnivores. It has to be the coolest D. slackii I've seen: D. slackii
Nice Steve! Still sparkly as ever!
I might have to get a leaf cutting back, as I've learned that D. venusta doesn't particularly like living ouside in SF.
No problem.. remind me when I come up to get those Nep cuttings ok?
It doesnt like living outside here much either. I gave up on that experiment quickly as I saw my plant decline steadily after the move. Like D. adelae, indoors under the lights seems to be what it likes best.
Speaking of which, when are you coming up This weekend is out as I'm going boarding in Tahoe. But come up soon! Your cuttings are healthy as can be and well on their way to rooting.
Hmmm. How are you growing it? I'm not doing anything special. 55 degrees at night, 75-80 daytime. A few inches under cheap four-foot fluorescent tubes. I think it's peat and sand; it's in the same pot and media as when I bought it from CC.
It grows great, but in 2.5 years it has not flowered, unlike just about every other dew I have, and it's VERY difficult to get leaf cuttings to strike.
What beautiful plants! My slackii was a beautiful one too. And then it just went splat for no apparent reason. *sigh* I reaaally miss that plant. It was one of my favorites. But always does a heart good to see photos of them.

Here are some pictures of an old Drosera slackii and an older D. venusta. The D. slackii is not grown by me, but by Christian Klein. The D. venusta is one of my plants.
