Drosera overload

  • Thread starter takitza
  • Start date
Hello guys,

Just wanted to share my Drosera babies. I'm so proud of them that I felt the need to pass the love to others too :)
Also, could you tell what Drosera flower is that? The plant looks something between Capensis and Nidiformis, but the nidiformis has pink flowers.

Enjoy and thanks!

That is a load of Drosera love. What species are represented here?
 
D. Capensis, D. Spatulata, D. Burmannii, D. Nidiformis, D. Scorpioides. There might be others too, because I had bought some Drosera mix ar some point. The only fear is that I don't know where to put them during winter

Also, if anyone near Romania wants to trade or need seeds of any of the above, besides D. Scorpioides gemmaea, I can really share/trade. Bur I guess these are pretty common species, though

At the very least some of the plants I'm seeing there are tokaiensis, not spatulata (and unless you got the spatulata with a specific form or locality name, they'll probably end up tokaiensis). And if you want an ID for a flower, we need to see the plant it's attached to.

My bad. They are Drosera Spatulata "Fraser Island". I suppose they look like D. Tokaiensis, yea :) I am attaching some pictures with the plant for ID, too

Your mystery plant looks like D. intermedia; if the seeds were not cold-treated in any way and it's that small, it's probably the tropical Cuban form. And sorry, but no, D. tokaiensis and spatulata "Fraser Island" look nothing alike to me, as I grow several forms of both species; you have tokaiensis (in flower to boot which tells me I'm not mistaking a young plant for something else), but I saw no plants resembling Fraser.
 
Then I got hoaxed by the selling seeds company? Oh well. Thanks for helping the ID. The seeds have not been cold stratified, no.

So you're saying these are tokaiensis, not spatulata? I had some bigger specimens at work and managed to do some pictures.
Also, it may matter their trap speed: they curled up within a few(5) minutes around the bloodworms.

Mislabled plants happen from time to time in the carnivorous plant and other horticultural hobbies. It common in drosera where species differences aren't readily apparent to laypeople.

D. tokaiensis is THE most notoriously mislabeled plant, always sold as most commonly spatulata or capillaris, but has also masqueraded as pilosa, burkeana, various South American or African species, etc. If it's got spatulate leaves with tips notably wider than the rest of the petiole or lamina, short (often twisted) stalks with flowers of a bright to dark pink, and didn't come from a highly experienced grower or very specialized nursery, it's probably tokai.

I have SO many tokaiensis! All those plants look great and healthy. PS what kind of moss is that in one of those pictures?

Hey, sorry for the late response. The moss just grew with the peat moss. It's currently overtaking the droseras but I think they can handle it :D
