D.derbyensis -
not looking too rosy.
Member of D.petiolaris complex, this one's has got
interesting hairy petioles. Just flowered for me! |
 |
D.dilatato-petiolaris -
Neat guy! Oooh.
I'm going to get my hands on more of these. This is also
from the D.petiolaris complex, and turns fully red in
full sun. Closeup of a leaf curling over a captured ant.
OK, I confess - I put the ant in there. =) |
  |
D.lanata -
the first picture was a little overexposed, but I'll try
again soon! This small plant put out 2 flower spikes
that produced beautiful white flowers.
Second picture is a shot taken 1 year
later. Odd growth shape!
|
 |
D.falconeri -
one of my favourites from the
D.petiolaris complex, these guys turn a deep wine red in
sun. Very easy to grow and propagate from leaf cuttings
- almost every single cutting will strike. |
 |
D.petiolaris
"All Red" - another plant from the
D.petiolaris complex group. Grows rapidly when fed with
ants and divides into 2 plants every once in a
while.
Second picture is a closeup of a
trap. |
 |
D.neocalidonica
- this is a gem of a plant. First off,
it's one of those few Drosera that forms a stem. Also,
the older leaves sometimes produce plantlets as they
touch the substrate, and I simply adore the coarse hairs
on the petioles of this plant! |
 |
D.burmanii
- a pretty annual. These are
one of the fastest-moving sundews, and you can see the
outer long tentacles actually moving to envelop the
unfortunate prey. These were started off from seed, and
some plants turn red in sun. |
 |
D.indica - another annual, sown from seeds
obtained from the ICPS Seedbank. Produces large, pretty
flowers and selfs very easily. |
  |
D.intermedia -
these are pesky weeds in my
collection, they pop up in almost every pot. Although
it's supposed to be a temperate species, this variety
does not go dormant, and its seeds do not need
stratification to germinate. |
  
 |
Drosera
filiformis - "Thread Leaf Sundew". This
is an efficient mosquito and gnat catcher, as seen in
the last 3 photos. I've managed to take a closeup of
insects caught by the plant! One of the easiest Drosera
to grow. |
 |
Drosera
binata - "Fork Leaf Sundew". First
picture shows the "T-form" of the plant. Note
how each leaf only forks once. Second picture shows the
"Marston Dragon" form, where each leaf forks
multiple times to produce a claw-like shape. Third
picture is a closeup of a midge caught by a plant. |
 |
Drosera capensis -
Contrary to what other people experience,
unfortunately this beautiful plant does not grow like a
weed for me. |
 |
Drosera
aliciae - one of those easy rosetted sundews to
grow, and clumps readily, forming mounts of sparkling,
neatly-arranged leaves. What could get better than
this? |
 |
D.
sp. "Auyan Tepui" - this I got off a
trade. It looks very much like D.natalensis and perhaps
even D.spathulata, but I'm not sure. Would appreciate
any ID information on this plant! |
 |
Drosera spathulata -
pink flowers |
