After several attempts at crossing filiformis "Florida all red" and var. tracyi, I've finally gotten a seed to germinate and it has just reached maturity. As of right now, the only other filiformis cross that I'm aware of is D. 'California sunset' which is the standard filiformis crossed with var. tracyi, so this may be the first time the "florida all red" variety has been used in a cross.
Here are some pics;
The flower. Standard filiformis look but almost double the size of "fl all red", about the same size as var. tracyi.
Leaves of filiformis "fl all red" x var. tracyi. They retain the green leaves of var. tracyi but inherit the red glands tips of "fl all red".
Community tray with my cross on the left and "florida all red" on the right.
var. tracyi leaves for comparison.
Maybe I should call this one Drosera 'Florida sunrise'?
Also, if anyone can point me in the direction of a list of Drosera hybrids/crosses, I'd appreciate it.
(sorry for the not-so-great picture quality. filiformis is a hard subject to photograph.)
