The title says it all, I'm looking to get into drosera so I would love to try some easier species just to see how they do. So I'm looking for stuff like cape sundews and easy rosetted varities. Please PM me and we work something out.
Should I get a fast growing and easy cape sundew or a Drosera binta? The bush forming habit of D. binta and relatives appeals to me but I have the impression that the cape sundew is a better flycatcher and of course easy to propagate. Can you tell me your opinion on each?
So, yesterday, I mentioned to my old college roommate, via Skype, that I've been collecting and growing nepenthes since we last spoke. As a South African who spent most of his life in Thailand, it never occurred to me that he had probably been all over the islands of the south pacific. Well...
I germinated seed from my Albino cape sundew and a few of the seedlings were different. They flowered 6 months from germination when the other seedlings took 8+ months. They have pink-ish foliage and are 10 to 12 inches across, about 30% bigger than the other albino seedlings.
I had all...
We lost power early last week and my husband hadn't fixed the generator after we wore it out during the hurricane. Thus no power equaled no heat for toooo long. I lost my N.amp seedlings (my first nep seeds to actually take), two seed grown N. mirabilis and worst of all kracken..the N. amp...
I need to find a new home for one of my Marston Dragon binatas. Having 2 of these suckers inside on my grow rack isnt working LOL. I also have a decent amount of other dews...

I feel like I'm spamming the web with this thread, but what the heck... may as well post it on three different forums.
Pics of my healthier 'dews at the moment. I edited some of the pics to make the colour look like it does in real life, because my new camera doesn't always capture the right...
Hello from Djoni, Portland, Oregon area. I have never joined a forum before, so all new to me. I am hopelessly addicted to CPs, perhaps getting a little out of hand. My husband says I am turning into a carnivorous plant hoarder.
About 7 years ago while wandering around a Saturday Market, I...
So I tried my best to get some good macros of my cape 'alba'.. Its totally clear dew and tentacle bits make it super hard to focus on.. but I think i got a few that are passable..
In the shade..
In full sun

We hit up the Woodland Park Zoo yesterday, and for the first time I actually went into the huge Rose Garden.. For some reason, I always miss peak blooming season for them so never go in there. The garden is huge! Never realized how big it was! So glad I decided to pop in for some photos... Also...
So I have a plant rack set up in my apartment. It has the standard 4' wide T5/8s, wireframe shelf, with the plants being about 4-8" away from the lights. (Smallest pots are 8" away, my neps gets closer to 2-4ish.
All sides of the rack including top and bottom are covered in tinfoil to...

Drosera trinervia seed
Drosera trinervia is one of the easier to cultivate of the winter growing South African Drosera. It has the distinction of being the most numerous and wide spread of the South African species despite the experience of D. capensis in cultivation.
When the plants go...
Just some photos I took today:

Nepenthes Miranda. Has quite a few growth points. I got it last fall, finally got one in good condition. Has been growing in my window this winter so that's why it's growing sideways.
When I bought this from a local nursery it was labled as...
