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...
Since this wasn't shared before by members who have previously had Lowrie's Magnum Opus (published Nov 2013) I thought I'd post a summary of some of the taxonomic changes and new species of Tuberous Drosera published in the work.
Please note the old names are still valid and it is up to you if...
Hi all,
I have the following species for trade. All of the tuberous species are dormant.
D. auriculata
D. hookeri
D. abberans (used to be whiitakeri subsp. abberans)
D. menziesii subsp. menziesii ( plants get very red, almost crimson late in the growing season)
D. erythrorhiza subsp...
That's right. Your top 10 favorites. Period. Species, hybrids, cultivars, varieties, regardless if you possess them or not. Info on why (or not). I'm not much of a rule creator or follower.
and.....GO!
1) Drosera gigantea
2) Drosera lanata
3) Drosera regia
4) Drosera...
After speaking with several members here among other growers, I have realized that there are more misconceptions about successfully growing these plants than I had thought. I wrote the care sheet below last year for the NECPS members to use as a guide for their cultivation and I hope that it can...
I would like to move my dormant Drosera macrantha to a deeper pot, but I'm not sure how wet the medium should be. I intend to use a peat-sand mixture but I don't know how to mix them together while keeping them dry to prevent the tuber from rotting. How do I balance the needs for the soil to be...
i started my exploration of Oz with Troy offering to take me out to see some tuberous Drosera he knew about.....unfortunately while i came at a bad time for reptiles(winter down here) was the perfect time for tuberous Drosera....according to Troys field guide of plants of the area, the climbing...
Once I was in a store and there was a corner in which some really strange plants were standing.
They shall eat meat or something like that and they are probably dangerous. No risc no fun. I took one of the glistening with the sticky leaves.
About 10 years later ......
Cephalotus

Hi
I have been hunting around various seed selling web sites in the hope of expanding my meagre Drosera collection into something more exotic. Then it occurred to me that I ought to ask you guys first...yes?!
Does anyone please have any of the following Droserae (or similar) and is willing...
As the warm weather sets and summer coming within the next months, my plants already show good signs of growing well and they like how I''m keeping them! :)
Enjoy the pics! :)
(to see all the pictures, check out other forums, due to the limit that TF has, I was only able to post 60 pics of the...
Hi everyone!
I took pictures of some drosera jars today:
drosera anglica 'Hawaii'
drosera glanduligera
drosera falconeri (crowded jar)
drosera hilaris (turned out to be very weedy species when correct medium is used)
drosera afra
drosera rotundifolia
drosera spatulata var. lovellae...
I took two leaf cuttings upon my plant's arrival, both are now showing top growth. One is already gone, the other is up for grabs. Looking for things on my want list. ;)
~WANTS~
Cephalotus Giants (Czech, German, Munich)
Cephalotus 'Eden Black'
D. 'Wacky Traps'
D. aberrans
D. alba
D. ascendens...
I've got an unrooted cutting of N. 'Whisper' (Striped) for trade. If it roots before it trades, I'll have to reconsider what I'm looking for.. or if I even want to let it go. It's been in the rooting tank for 2 days and is still looking good. Cutting was taken by me from my own plant.
It is...
It was was a beautiful, sunny winter day so I made a quick visit to a nearby nature preserve to see some wild tuberous Drosera.
(Click on the photos to see larger versions.)
There was plenty of D. aberrans colonies, some being very densely crowded. These were located at the edges of wet heath...
Originally set up for Aldrovanada (which I no longer can see), it turned into a lost cause sanctuary for Darlingtonia (cool running water and shade), as well as a home for U. alpina, Cephalotus, and a Heli. Also in there are 3 pots of D. macrantha tubers, and either dead or severely unhappy D...
