Those D. cistiflora are excellent. I especially like the top shot in the last group - well worth clicking on to view at full size. Any idea what color those flowers are going to be?

That D. hilaris plant looks great. I've been pursuing that species for awhile now.

Well the admirable one (D. admirabilis, holotype small form) is starting to flower once again.
IMGP3554copy.jpg


This illustrates wth the"coccicaulis" label that is applied to the plant known as Drosera venusta or sometimes D. coccicaulis makes no sense. "Cocci" from Latin can mean berry bearing or scarlet from the Latin word "coccus" - the berry of the scarlet oak (used for red dyes). "Caulis" refers to the stem (flower). I don't see the "berry bearing" connection unless the you consider the flower buds as the berries. I do see the "scarlet" connection. However the majority of the South African rosetted species have red flower stalks and buds resembling berries at one time or another so why would this attribute be uniquely applied to one group of plants?

D. regia clone R1 - fun with focus shift. This plant definitely benefited from a cool winter outdoors.

D. glabripes - ditto on the winter. Colder winters may be key to the long term survival of this species. Time will tell.
IMGP4070copy-1.jpg


D. hamiltonii - flower continues to develop. These are all offshoots from the same plant. Why the variability in color???
IMGP4077copy.jpg


The infamous Butterfly Valley D. × hybrida tetraploid - flowers coming up :-D

man i love the internet, I just ordered myself a drosera glabripes. woot!

Odds are it is D. × corinthiaca a natural hybrid of D. glabripes and D. aliciae. I've never found a vendor in the US that sells true D. glabripes. The source in Australia sells D. x corinthiaca mislabeled as D. glabripes and that's where the US vendors get them from.

D. × corinthiaca

vs

D. glabripes
P5220089.jpg

this is only about a third as tall as they've gotten for me
dglabripes2-1.jpg

even when young they are quite different from the hybrid

The hybrid as a tough one to keep going long term too.

D. slackii - nice and dew for a change

IMGP4220copy_zpsfaa13ad2.jpg

though the mother plant looks like crap. I thought I would leave the skirt on it instead of trimming it off and burying the stem when I last repotted it. Big mistake I think.

'Love the D. admirabilis. Those look great and remind me why I've been meaning to grow that one. My experience with my D. slackii when I trimmed the dead leaves and sunk the plant in deeper was it took months to start growing normally again. 'Thing is totally happy now but if I mess with its roots it pouts for many weeks. Younger plants don't seem to mind as much.

The presumed hybrid Byblis 'Goliath' × guehoi F2 generation. Seeds fell into pot when collecting the capsules, untreated with GA3. These took many months to germinate. The plants are much slower growing than the F1 generation. The wide plant I found growing in the water tray behind the pot. I transferred it into the pot. It's about 1.5 inches tall vs the 0.5 - 0.75 inches of the plants that germinated in the media. I gave away the plants I started with GA3.
