The flower is from one of my spatulatas. As many of my unknown have this flower from, i would like to know, if there is any other Drosera with such a flower. The question i actually have is, if i can be sure it's a spatulata, if the plant has such a flower. I know, that it's highly variable. But such a flower with only bifurcated styles and a bright centre seems to indicated Drosera spatulata for me. At least i don't know any other than Drosera spatulata with such a flower. The flower of Drosera capillaris seems to be very similar to the one i posted.
I recently had a drosera (rosseted) pop up with my Ping.Aphrodite's. It is tiny, about an inch or less and flowers just like yours, but less purple, more like a light purple. I will post a pic when it flowers.
The first flower on the link Bob page posted to my web is a little suspect. I received those plants as D. capillaris, but now I am not so sure myself! I am waiting for the plants to flower again, and I will take a closer look at both the flower and the plant. My apologies for the confusion. How embarassing :-(
I just had a good look at these plants, and although atypical for D. spatulata I believe that is what they are. The photo will soon be deleted, my webmaster has been alerted.
The only other flower I know that is similar to D. spatulata is D. oblanceolata which is similar in shape, although lighter in color than most D. spatulata and with different styles.
