Great photos, thanks for posting!

This plant has sparked quite the discussion on FB, and so far I have gotten the following possible ID's: tokaiensis, spatulata, natalensis, nidiformis, intermedia, rotundifolia. All of these I grow, some multiple forms, and it's none of them. For now, I'm keeping the tentative ID of a typical capillaris, as it appears closest to my long-arms

I really love the capensis wide leaf. I don't see them often; that is the first one I've seen since first noticing it on the grow sundews website. Looks like I'll be adding that one to my wishlist as well.
 
  • #105
It's one of those I'm waiting to flower, because remakes of a lot of the capensis crosses would look so funky with it....

On a different note, these guys grow so much better outside than inside for me...

Great looking plants! I have a D. capensis x spatulata cross that looks so much like your capensis "wide leaf". I'm not implying that they are the same but I'm impressed with the similarities, at least as far as I can tell from your photos. Perhaps the wild wide leaf variety has something else far back in its ancestry to give it such a distinctive look.

The capes do better outside than inside, but reach nowhere near the same size

Inside, these guys are decent

The binatas also do better outside, even if they lsoe the dew midday due to the lack of humidity..

Long time since I updated on these guys...still looking for ID's on several

And lastly, the third unknown that looks like to me either capillaris, or a Lantau Island plant, though I am hoping the former.

Have you gotten your D. beleziana "Dr. Frankensnyder's Monster" to flower? Grew great for me but I could not get it to flower.

I agree your unknown dew looks most like D. capillaris. Check the seed texture to be sure.

As soon as it flowers I will look at both seeds and flower color. The U. warburgii pot it is in was repotted recently and the leaves are now growing flatter, something the Lantau also often do but not until after the leaves grow semi-upright...

The beleziana have not yet flowered for me. Some soil and lighting issues have meant getting them through a winter dormancy and growing out proper again have been a slight challenge and I keep restarting from small plantlets and leaf cuttings, but hopefully soon...

Since this guy opened this first flower it has been crossed with brevifolia, spatulata 'Tamlin', spatulata var. gympiensis, and anglica "Alakai Swamp"

>D. burmamnii "green w/pink flowers" x "Humpty Doo"

Your "green w/pink flowers" sounds like my D. burmannii from Beerwah, QLD Australia. Typically burmannii has white flowers.
 
  • #117
The "green w/pink flowers" originally came to me from the ICPS as sessilifolia, but then even the manager at that time (who supposedly supplied the seeds from confirmed sessilifolia?) said they didn't look like that species. Received more seeds from him directly later that have also grown out, seen pictures of his plants too and they seem on target for ID, and honestly they look really similar....so I don't know for certain the identity of either of those, or whether or not my conditions are causing funky growth on them.

D. burmannii Beerwah, QLD Australia grows much larger than D. sessilifolia.
 
  • #119
I've seen pictures of some fairly large sessilifolia, so I might call that into question (on the other hand, they were wild plants). But neither batch of plants ever got very large, no more than a little over 1, 1.25" across.

1+ inch, it's gotta be D. burmannii.
