Hi, most likely my favorite Drosera we found! Christian

Hi, some pictures of one of the most interesting Drosera! Christian

Hello, this species caused some confusion with me, but now i think i got it! We only found them in the Fernkloof Nature Reserve near Hermanus. regards, Christian

Hi, this species is only known from the Table Mountain area. We found them in the Silvermine Nature Reserve as well as on the Table Mountain itself. Christian

Hello, this nice species is only know from one location in the surrounding of Franschhoek. It is only recently described and closely related to D. hilaris. Christian

Hi, there seems to be only one known little population of Drosera regia left in southafrica. We had the great chance to visit that place during our trip there. The plants are growing in dense vegetation and are rather hard to take pictures of. Christian

Hi, today i would like to show you pictures of the onliest species of Utricularia we found in southafrica - Utricularia bisquamata. We have found this species in the range between the Gifberg and the Silvermine Nature Reserve on almost every place we visited. The plants are very different in...

Hi, i will continue with Drosera hilaris, that we found in Silvermine NR and in Fernkloof NR. Christian

Hello, for a change to all the Drosera, here is Roridula gorgonias from the Fernkloof Nature Reserve. Christian

Hallo, we found Drosera admirabilis at the Bains Kloof (= D. spec. floating, together with D. regia), close to Hermanus (together with D. slackii) and on the way up to the Table Mountain. Christian

Hi, we only found Drosera curviscapa in the Fernkloo Nature Reserve near Hermanus. In cultivation this plant is also known as Drosera sp. "Hermanus" oder Drosera aliciae "Hermanus". Christian

Hi, the next plant i want to show you is Drosera alba. We only found them on the Gifberg, but it is also known from a location in the Cedar Mountains (but we couldn't find them there). We found two forms, that are somehow different. Interestingly, we also found some plants...

Hi, here are four pictures of plants, that we found in the Cedar Mountains. We first thought, they are Drosera trinervia. Only back in germany they were identified as Drosera afra by Andreas Fleischmann. Drosera afra differs from Drosera trinervia by not having too well developed nerves on the...

Hi, i will continue my series with a species, that we only found in one location: Drosera glabripes. The only time we found this plant was in the Fernkloof Nature Reserve, where it grows in larger numbers directly beneath the way. For me, this is one of the most impressive and nicest species of...

Hi, before switching to the (at least in cultivation) rarer southafrican species (regia, alba, hilaris, ericgreenii, cistiflora and some more) i will show you pictures of Drosera aliciae in habitat. The pictures have all been taken at the Constantia Nek. I will add pictures of other locations...

Hi, i will continue my series of pictures from Southafrica with D. capensis. We found them at three locations: Gifberg, Bains Kloof and Theewaterskloof Dam. In many cases, the plants are growing verticaly on rocks. All locations have in common, that they are very wet! Although, D. capensis can...

Hi, some of you may already know my pictures from my trip to South Africa in September last year from other forums.. As i have not yet shown them here, i think it is worth posting them here too. I feel, some of the members may not yet have seen them. I will start my series with Drosera...

I just received seeds but don't know what goes into this. I googled the name and came across some blurry pictures. To me, the plant looks a lot like D. cuneifolia, but IDK.

This was received as Utricularia ‘Lavinia Whateley' but isnt... This was received as Utricularia ‘Cthulhu' but isnt... at least I dont think it is... Utricularia livida – Durban, South Africa Utricularia lateriflora – Frodshams Pass, Tasmania Utricularia sandersonii - I am really...

As I only grow North American carnivores( Sarrs, pings, utrics, dews and traps ), much to my suprise I found a new sundew growing in my Flava Rugelle about two months ago. Not knowing how it got there( I still haven't figured that out yet ), I looked it up, found it to be D. Cunefolia from S...
