Petilaris Complex

Here are some photos I took of a few plants earlier this month.

Homer thanks for shareing! These types of dews are still new to me. I have a falconari, and have seen pictures of derbiensis, but I didn't realize there were others like that too. I am still a young grasshoppa, and love seeing new species. Thanks again for sharing!

Homer,
You sure know how to grow the Petilaris Complex dews!

Those Drosera ordensis are cool looking dews.

In the picture of Drosera falconeri and others, what is the plant is the bottom left hand corner?

Homer, thanks for showing pics of your plants!! these are fantastic. I love seeing the hybrids, and pics of your seedlings are exciting.
Keep up growing and let us know when you have spare plants to trade or buy!

J.B. - Here's the current list of members in the petiolaris complex:

Drosera broomensis
Drosera brevicornis
Drosera caduca
Drosera derbyensis
Drosera darwinensis
Drosera dilatato-petiolaris
Drosera falconeri
Drosera fulva
Drosera kenneallyi
Drosera lanata
Drosera ordensis
Drosera paradoxa
Drosera petiolaris
[edit] D. banksii - - erect-growing annual

Head over to Bob Z's photofinder for a visual treat / education ... As entire families of plants go, many of these are fairly new discoveries (6 were described after Lowrie's 3rd book was published). Given the tremendous size of Northern Australia (and the not too hospitable environment), more species can reasonably be expected ...

Homer,
I've told you this before - but you are kickin some serious butt with your petios.

Great job growing! Beautiful pics of some very healthy plants!! Congratulations!!

Rl Thanks for the list.

Something just dawned on me. I just recieves 6 plants and a packet of seed from Bob Z. I feel honered. I will have to go to his site and chack it out. Have a link. I;m still new to these sites. I just found another CP forum last night from reading a post here.

very cool, i have falconeri, paradoxa and just recieved some petiolaris fresh out of TC. i REALLY want to get a broomensis before the temps drop and its to cold to ship this fall

 

[JB_OrchidGuy]

Rattler, what places sell these guys out of TC? I might start looking for them next spring.  I can't buy any plants at the moment, but I would like to know where to get them.  I have spent too much already this summer and I still need to rebuild my GH so no room unless I trade some out.  LOL

Cool Thanks for the link!

On a consistent basis & in the states? Nowhere.

Chuck & Michael (West coast exotics or similar) on eBay have been the 1st consistent sources of plant material. Some other nurseries often have them listed but usually are Not Available. For seed, get in on a group Lowrie order. If you happen to live in the LA area, join the LACPS - they frequently have growers bringing plants to sell at the meetings.

You mean the really healthy one with all those leaves that haven't been pulled for propagation? You mean that one??

It's recovered from the round of leaf pullings I did in May or June, hasn't it? Since less than 10% got strikes, I need to pull some more and give it a shot again!

[LLeopardGGecko]

Just beautiful! What kind of lighting do those plants grow under Homer?

Oh, and by the way, I absolutely love the look of D. ordensis! Would you happen to have any of that species available for trade/sale?

 

[droseraguy]

Nice growning homer. More to add to my list. You gotta stop giving all us these crazy ideas.

i know a guy

i didnt buy them, they were given to me

good friends are hard to find

the best source for this complex at the moment? prolly Chuck via ebay. prolly where ill wind up getting my broomensis or ordensis hate to buy one of these when ive been so good at getting them for free or a bit of trading

oh well, wont kill me to shovel out some dough, i really like these guys. going to have to try some cuttings off of the falconeri over the winter so ive got trade bait next spring

 

[Tamlin Dawnstar]

Your dewing great Homer, thanks again for sharing.

 

[homer]

In sincerely hope to sell or trade most of the young D. ordensis I have early next year when danger of frost is over. You raise the age old question "How does one obtain one of these plants?" I ended up germinating some from seed I recieved from England last year in order to get another clone. It shouldn't be that hard. I know most of you would agree.

These plants promise to be robust and fast growing! I'm very pleased that a few are quarter sized in a matter of only 2 months.

Homer, any thoughts on germinating petiolaris group seed?
Did you place in a hot place? How long before germination?

I hope to germinate some seed soon and some tips would be great!
