<span style='font-size:12pt;line-height:100%'>I am often swapping plants, and stories with other CP growers. Here is an image of one that has really been amazing. I swapped this red Drosera capensis with Tamlin. He sent me one of his "strain" of red Drosera capensis and I sent him one of mine.
I wonder if they are derived from the same parents?
When I first received this plant from Tamlin the original leaves were dirty from the shipping process, so I removed them and placed them into a glass of water --- a few weeks later I planted out about 16 plants which had sprouted from the severed leaves. I planted the "mother" plant into a small 2-1/4 inch square pot, where it still remains: see photo below.
This plant has opened about 6 of 14 buds on the primary flower stalk, yet is already growing a second flower stalk. A few weeks earlier I had sprinkled bloodworms on a couple of its leaves, and soon afterward I noticed a rapid growth increase and the plant began its first inflorescence.
