D. sessilifolia can definitely get over an inch across, even in cultivation if the confirmed photos I can find are anything to go by. Though the glandular nature of the flower heads looks rather distinct from burmannii, and I may look at that when the various plants mature and start flowering again.
On the other hand, I am very open to acquiring seeds of any confirmed sessilifolia to restart that taxon in my collection....

I grow D. burmannii Beerwah indoors under artificial lights. With good care the rosette gets up to 2.5 inches in diameter. D. sessilifolia from Chapada dos Guimaraes grown in my conditions is easily distinguished and much smaller. Both plants have pink tinted flowers. Fernando Rivadavia convinced himself burmannii only has white flowers. For that reason, he and John Brittnacher accused me of mixing up my plants with hybrids I made between the two.

Again, if you happen to have extra seeds of a confirmed sessilifolia, I'd be more than happy to restart that species in my collection with a confirmed identity and/or locality; otherwise I will still have to leave these plants as semi-mystery in labeling since if they're not what I received them as, it's anyone's guess what they properly are. And I would be rather surprised anyone would say burmannii only has white flowers; 'Pilliga Red' has been around for a long time and part of its description is pink flowers....

Wow you're right, that Pilliga Red looks exactly like my sessilifolia:-o

Mine, on the other hand, could almost never be mistaken for such as the leaves were far too long.

Your D. binata grow so densely. How long did it take to reach that point/ how many growth points do you think those pots have?
 
  • #133
Never bothered to count; binata doesn't generally have a lot of growth points, it splits into new plants. And they die back every winter so this growth is yearly.
 
  • #134
Ah, a new year...I hope that means lots of new plants to enjoy too. My D. cistiflora forms still haven't shown up this year (and as always, I shall freak out until either they do or I confirm they're dead), but several tuberous plants are now awake once more:

Quite a sundew collection there!

My D. cistiflora hasn't popped up either, and neither has my D. hookeri. I'm worried I kept them too dry during the summer (or started watering them too early, considering how long it's been.) How do you verify whether the plant survived dormancy or not?
 
  • #136
If it doesn't pop up by the time the next dormancy season comes around, I dig up the pot and search for dead tubers/roots. Unfortunately, I found stringy root remains near the top of my cistiflora "purple" pot and won't dare digging deeper to check if anything survived....D. hookeri and auriculata may or may not go dormant during summer too, so keeping them slightly damp is probably a good idea if they do die back.

And finally, after much struggle, I got finlaysoniana to flower. Missed both blooms that opened, but one is setting seeds and they were clearly a pink so pale they were nearly white. Just in time too, as once more it's begun to inexplicably collapse, and I will probably have to restart soil and all....

  • #138
Let me know if you set seed successfully. Mine flowered but they seemed to never ripen on the plant. They only seemed to mature after I cracked the pods and let them dry on some paper.
 
  • #139
Can you do a photo where you compare your capensis giant vs a typical? I'm curious how much larger the traps are than a typical. Great plants btw :)
 
  • #140
Mine is not currently at "giant" state, so no I won't be. They can get large, but right now it's smaller than the largest of my red leaf plants.
