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...
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...
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.

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...
So I'm redoing one of my tanks.. which means I can offer up the LFS I was using in it. It is RIDDLED with all kinds of goodies! Mostly rotunds by the 100's.. but there are also some misc. utrics (nothing common), and some Stylidium debile.
As for the LFS itself, it's mostly red/crimson LFS. But...
Just finished off most of the neps on my want list. So I guess it's time to start working on the drosera section. If you have any plantlets, leaf cuttings, or tubers to spare of any of these, please PM me if you'd like to work out a trade.

D. browniana putting up a bloom

Also, I'm looking for a seedling pic of D. regia
