    Drosera CAPENSIS in California?

    Hello! I have recently learned that there are some colony's of capensis in the United States. Specifically in California, medocino county. I had always presumed they were confined to grow wildly in South Africa. (Except in our pots of cps!) If anyone could shed some light on this or has pics...

    Hello from Thornhill, South Africa!

    Hi there all! I came across these forums after becoming very interested in terrariums.

    D. sp "South Africa" growers...Are these self fertile?

    I grew out some seeds I received labeled D. sp "South Africa" that have recently flowered and produced some seed pods. The only other Drosera that had open flowers at around the same time was D. spatulata 'Tamlin', but I cannot for the life of me remember if both had flowers open at the same...

    The taxonomy: Cultivars and spatulata

    I'm currently aware that the experts who could refute, comment, or otherwise answer this inquiry are generally unavailable. Namely Tamlin Dawnstar, Barry Rice, and Aaron May (sundewman). I've come across conflicting information regarding forms and cultivars of Drosera spatulata. Supposedly...

    Big, hairy cape

    This plant sprouted from seeds I now believe to be field-collected in South Africa that were marked "Drosera hilaris" and sold as such. Obviously not the right species. While I will never do business with that particular merchant again I thought this one plant was a bit different and sort of...
