Drosera ericksonii

[Parasuco]

I just got a Drosera ericksonii in the mail... First off... Is that how you even spell it? Hehehe...

Ok, I think its a pygmy... But it has more than one flower per scape, kinda like a capensis, and it also has more than one scape up... It looks really healthy, htere was even a flower on it when i recieved it... I was impressed. Hehehe...

If its not a pygmy, Uuuuh... Well. How do I treat it? Its not like I asked for this plant, it came as a bonus with an order I made... I'm soooo happy I got it, I just need to know some exact specs on it, just to feel comfortable...

Thanks alot!
Greg

I don't have a lot to add but I can tell you that there are pygmies out there with multi-flowered scapes cause I have some with 20-30 per and they also have 2-3 scapes per plant

I thnk you are correct that it is a pygmy but don't quote me. Maybe try a Google search as it has the fuzzy logic and offers you a correct spelling if you mess up.

I tried google with many spellings... I'll try more... I think I exude some kind of electrical field that screws things up forme sometimes... I'll go check if it has faded yet...
