Wow, nices droseras. I have capensis and spathulata. Can you tell me how to get more species? I am from Europe. Do you have some advice how to get more droseras? They are the best.
I has seeds from this locale finally...as always, my threadleaves do much better outdoors than inside, but they don't seem to do so well overwintering outside...grrr... D. filiformis Lakehurst, NJ by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
Terrible photo, but my favorite threadleaf D. 'Dreamsicle' by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
My monster multifida colony D. multifida by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr D. multifida by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
Might be natalensis? Sprout from one of the random seed packs I lost the identity to before it went into storage...so I tossed them in a Sarr pot D. natalensis? by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
'Marston Dragon' is also a monster, though the leaves don't fork much save in spring... D. 'Marston Dragon' by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
Which makes this clump in the pot suspect. I think I accidentally moved part of my multifida extrema into here when I was trying to remove the 'Marston' stowaway that got into its pot. D. multifida extrema? by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
Staghorns also finally getting big again, though no major branching this year... D. dichotoma by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr D. intermedia Carolina Giant by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
I was told the "Gunung Keledang" form is supposed to have mostly white flowers... D. "burmannii Gunung Keledang" by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
However, this guy looks very different from the pot-jumping hybrid I have that does have pink flowers, so currently I'm on assumption I've got a pink-tinted form whose color has been enhanced by my lights. D. "burmannii Gunung Keledang" by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
D. venusta begins to return to health. Now if only I could get the antho-free form looking this good again; I have no clue what the problem is for sundews in this greenhouse.... D. venusta by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr D. oblanceolata "Sunset Peak" by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr D. anglica "Alakai Swamp, HI" by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
zigzagia has bloomed! My first non-peltata complex tuberous sundew to actually flower for me, and the third yellow-flowered sundew in the collection D. zigzagia by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
D. menziesii is beginning to get lengthy. And, it's produced a second stem D. menziesii by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
D. auriculata "typical" reaches for the sky as well. Flowers soon to come for this one too D. auriculata "Typical" by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
In this pot, most of the burmannii present are a "red tentacle" variety whose flowers never seem to make petals. Then there's this weirdo D. burmannii (hybrid?) by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
As you can see here this one's also larger, less red in the tentacles (more so in the leaf itself), and has a different shape. With where the pot's located it's rather surprising if the pot-jumping "sessil" x "Humpty Doo" seeds got into it, but that's the only thing I can conclude.

And sharing the pot, the headache-inducing riparia. Does about equally well for me in bot sphagnum and peat mixes, meaning it dews up nicely for a week or two and then sulks for no particular reason for another week, and so on...and never gets bigger D. riparia by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
Lastly, not opening the other thread just for this: a new hybrid flower D. oblanceolata "Sunset Peak" x brevifolia by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
In this case I'm fairly certain it's a chance issue, a new stalk that developed off the tuber that just made a couple flower buds and resulting partly from this being a young plant flowering for the first time ever.
[MENTION=11505]FrankenSnyder[/MENTION]: Sadly, I don't think I've ever seen photos from anyone else for the 3-way. Granted it was a little fussy for me for a while because I had it in not-so-good soil, but still...and it very much seems to carry a lot of the traits of gympiensis.
