Not alot to photograph yet. But here is one that is looking particularly good this year and I don't think I have taken shots of it before. This is also one of the first to emerge each season.
D. bulbosa ssp. bulbosa
Group shot
Close up
If you have photos feel free to add to the thread!
Freeze dried bloodworms I think is what you are refering to. They don't catch enough of their own food in the greenhouse. The supplemental feeding makes a really big difference. I want them to have lots of food stores to produce new tubers each Spring. This pot had 4 plants in it last year and this year there are 5 so a good sign for sure!
Nice! My D. bulbosa is yet to break the surface. But it is growing!
These are what are showing growth for me so far this year. Sorry for the low quality pics, I'm sick.
D. erythrorhiza ssp. squamosa (Albany Hwy):
A couple months ago..
D. macrophylla ssp. monantha
D. lowriei 'Giant'
newer stalks starting on my larger clump of D. peltata 'White Flower'
One of the 4 taller stalks. All of which are over a foot + tall.
D. macrophylla
One of 3 grab bag NOIDS. Thinking it's D. macrantha, but won't know for sure until the flower opens.
Woot Travis! Looking good! Some of my favorites in there, particularly the D. erythrorhiza!
Could be D. macrantha but I am leaning towards D. menziesii. D. macrantha usually puts out 3 traps at each junction. Two on shorter petioles to each side and one on a longer petiole in the middle (photo below). Your plant looks a little young yet so perhaps that may change things. Flowers will help ID but take note of the tuber color/shape also. D. menziesii are pink and D. macrantha whitish/yellowish (if I recall correctly).
ooh D. whittakeri Nice!
Great beginner tuberous sundew too since it doesn't mind being wet while dormant. D. peltata pink flower is another which is weed for many.
Overcast and crummy but here are some more:
D. macrophylla Wongan Hills
The few curled leaves are from the freeze dried bloodworms for food.
Lower portion of tangled D. macrantha on a stick.
The upper portion. Gone over the top already on a 3' bamboo stake..!
One of my favorites poking up now:
D. orbiculata buds/flowers. The leaves are just starting to come out.
Wow..orbiculata! Now that is a rare one in collections. I used to grow this plant but the tuber decided to divide itself while in dormancy then subsequently perished.
