aquatica

Hey all I am currently working in Darwin in the north of Australia and spend most of my weekends messing around in the sandy swamps around a place called Howard Springs. Allen Lowrie did a trip up here way back in 1991 when he discovered Byblis aquatica and there are several species of Drosera...

Allen Lowrie's Carnivorous Plants of Australia: Magnum Opus (2013) lists some 241 species of carnivorous plants at the time of publication. 163 of those are Drosera. Of these 29 are newly named. Some are new species formally described for the first time. Some were renamed as the "true" species...

Hi everyone, I am starting to grow this genus again. Seeds from seller A Seeds were soaked in GA3 for 24 hours and sowed on peat/sand mix. Almost every seed of the five tropical species sown became mouldy and there was no germination. Seeds from seller B First batch was soaked in GA3 for 24...

.and here I add some pictures of today, mostly new cultures: drosera falconeri, still without root system, but flowering already drosera montana var. montana "Botumirin' drosera sp. 'Auyan Tepui' on semi-liquid gel (some dews grow much faster this way) drosera madagascariensis. Don't know...

For the past 10 months, I had the good fortune of being able to grow and flower 2-7 plants of each of the seven tropical Byblis species. At first, I noticed that there seemed to be some variation between each species in terms of the how their leaves looked in very bright light. But being an...

Alright, before anyone scrolls down and get disappointed at the poor composition of the photos and somewhat lack in photography skill... :blush: I was trying to photograph the leaves of the different annual Byblis species and though a black background is nice, it seems to cause the dewdrops to...

I mislabelled the plants and grew them as B. filifolia in moist LFS. :blush: They are now flowering at the height of 6cm and THEN I realise that they are actually the aquatic species. The flowers do not open fully in my conditions. The seeds were labelled as "copper coloured stems up to...

Hello Friends, Here's some interesting photos showing pedicels decending via pulvini in Byblis gigantea. Pedicels in Byblis that move via pulvini was first documented in June of 2008 with B. 'Goliath'. Let's start with a photo taken before pollination; And now, some photos of the pulvini...

Hello All, Well in my opinion I must say that there's something suspicious about Mr. Lowrie's recent Byblis photos. The link to his publicly posted Forum photos can be found here; http://www.cpukforum.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=31873&pid=245236&st=0&#entry245236 Firstly, any Byblis I've...

Does anyone know if Canary Grass (Phalaris aquatica and other species) is bad for cats? It grows like crazy around here in the land of 10,000 swamps and I wanted to start a tub or two on my deck but I don't want to put it within reach of the cats if it can affect them in bad way. They eat the...
