They are being grown in an airconditioned room where the temperature rarely goes above 25 degrees C, and they are doing quite well.

I have been using LED light fixtures (meant for freshwater aquarium use) on my CPs for a couple of months now, and I have been encouraged by the results. Take this mini "bog" on my desk for example. The larger D. adelae on the left had a distinct greenish tinge on all the leaves when I got it on...

The plants came with flower stalks, but the flowers had withered before I had an opportunity to photograph them. I'll wait for them to flower to take some images. Feeding a pinhead cricket to a plant might trigger flowering as it did for one of my the other D. spatulata.

Ah, rats. I had thought that I might have something rare on my hands. Oh well.

Good enough for me! Thank you!

The flowers have not opened yet. I'll report back once it does.

I was given these plants from Gunung Leuser in Aceh from a relatively high altitude. I initially thought that it might be D. ultramafica, but it's leaves are quite different from the description. Would any one have an opinion on what it might be? Drosera spatulata perhaps?

Any idea what it might be?

Would this be considered a D. intermedia?

I was given this nice little specimen recently, and it had colored up nicely under LED lights. Is this a D. spatulata or one of the similar looking ones? Thanks for any help or comments.

This form was given to me and it recently flowered. Do you think that this is the narrow form?

I prepared a short laboratory class for college students on carnivorous plants last year and it was well-received. I am looking at improving it by looking for prepared slides of a cross section of a venus fly trap (with one of the trigger hairs), and of Aldrovanda leaves (whole mount). Does...

The first flower dropped before I got the chance to take a picture of this second flower. It appears that the flower opens for one or two days only. Second flower - front Second flower - side Second flower - top (diagonal) Second flower - top Purely for taxonomic interest - upper calyx...

This is my one and only utricularia (species and specimen) that I have successfully germinated from seed. The flower stalk is now about 10 cm in length and the first flower will open pretty soon! Whole plant Flower stalk Oldest flower bud Oldest flower bud - side profile Second oldest...

Yes, that is the same one I posted earlier. However, we cannot understand why three plants of supposed same parentage can produce such different flowers.
