Hi everybody!
I took pics of some jars and would like to share them with you. I hope u like them:-)

drosera ordensis 'Lake Argyle, Kimberley, AU'
(a nice example of what happens if you use too hard gel. The plant on the left has difficulties...
I got this plant approximately a month ago, from CPgeek (thanks Rob! :) ) with 2 leaves.
I was expecting something much slower growing (max 4 leaves in a growth period of 6 months, apparently) and temperamental, but nooo! :D
This is the third leaf it's produced in my care, in just over a...
The title says it all... I now have an above ground bog.
Today it was painted (outside) with a nice brown-red paint. I am planning to paint a mural of carnivorous plants on the front with acrylic and water colours, and then I want to name it. But what should I name it?
I don't have the...
Hello.
I have some seeds of New Zealand sundews and one Australian sundew that I'd like to trade.
I can only trade for other CP seeds, and only certain ones, as my country has restrictions on this sort of thing. I have limited numbers, so first in first served. The Drosera Arcturi was harvested...
Intro:
For several months I have been keeping a diary of my plants behaviour, sizes, growth etc. I've kept this diary more so I can show myself how well my plants are growing, and give me more drive to keep them alive and well, than as a real science experiement. However reading back through my...
My main interest is to have in my collection, every last known pinguicula so if you have one not on my grow list let me know. Beyond my Ping obsession i have very good luck with petiolaris and tuberous drosera and would like to enlarge my collection of them too. I always have lots of nepenthes...
I have a N. jacquelineae for trade. I am looking for any petiolaris, tuberous drosera, pinguicula not on my grow list, and D. arcturi. I will consider all trades. Due to a recent dead beat trader i must request a pic of any items to be traded unless i have traded with you before.
My PM box seems...

I still have D. peltata for trade. they are growing erect and some of them are 2 inches tall. I am looking for any petiolaris, tuberous drosera, pinguicula not on my grow list, and D. arcturi. I will consider all trades. Due to a recent dead beat trader i must request a pic of any items to be...
I have a N. aristolochioides for trade. I am looking for any petiolaris, tuberous drosera, pinguicula not on my grow list, and D. arcturi. I will consider all trades. Due to a recent dead beat trader i must request a pic of any items to be traded unless i have traded with you before.

Hi all,
I am planning to recieve some D. arcturi material in a week or two. The thing I'm most worried about is the dormancy. I've been researching, and here's what I have so far:
D. arcturi
Altitude: 1400m - 1080m to sea level.
Not self pollinating; need to pollinate.
Grow on banks of...
After reading about D. arcturi in the SG, and how Pete kinda failed at growing it since he couldn't keep it cold enough in winter, I wanted to try my luck with this plant, and see how it fares outside in my yard. I know this plant lives up high in mountains, which would mean virtually cloud-less...
Hello everyone, here is my grow list. Little old with some additions missing but pretty accurate. Current 2/05 additions coming soon, couple losses to.

Here is the technique used by our W.E.I.R.D. (World Expert In Rosetted Drosera) Tamlin Dawnstar:
-------------------------------------------
I sow the seeds by carefully rolling or tapping them off a folded sheet of white paper. Sow them on, not in, the medium. The seed must not be covered...
Hi all,
I have a few seed packets I'd like to trade with anybody that may be interested.
I'm basically interested in seed of other Drosera species but you can offer anything else and I may be interested (except Sarras, they take up too much space!).
Here's the list-
Drosera admirabilis- 5...
Hi everyone,
It's been a while since I've been on any fieldtrips so I decided to check out a spot called Lake Mountain today. I travelled there with George (Binataboy) and a couple of other friends to locate a population of Drosera arcturi which is known from this area.
Lake Mountain is a...
After a winter of weird weather in the UK, lots of mild spells interpersed with occasionally cold snaps (never below 25F (-5C)) I doubted that my most prized sundew would over-winter well enough to survive. However, my Drosera stenopetala hiburnaculum woke up fighting fit in the Spring and has...
I know everyone has read the prior post on the importance of a clean medium. Now that the substrate is ready for the seeds, all that remains is the careful sowing of them. The seeds I sent all were stored cold and are ready for sowing without any additional need for stratification.
I sow the...
