    Scoropides gemmae?

    How can you tell if your pygmy is producing gemmae? My scoropides (actually, 2 out of my 3) has a thick crowding of "green bumps" on top of the crown where leaves usually come out. There seems to be atleast 30. Gemmae? If so, how do you know when they are ready to come out (if that factor...

    Plants being weird

    Okay, I know that D. prolifera will grow plantlets at the end of their flower staks and sometime VFTs will do it too. I have heard that a couple ot the othe temperate Drosera also have a tendancy for it but I just found one of my mystery pygmies has a new plant growing on the end of its scape...

All my pygmies are on theyre way out and my last hope are some hyperostigma gemmae donated from Tamlin. Man...i thought i was an Iron Chef of Drosera, but the pygmies! my god...

    Hi all Just got back from a 2 week holiday to Australia, I hadn't been back for almost 2 years. I did a bit of CP'ing and saw plenty of climbing, tuberous and pygmy Drosera. In some places the tuberous and pygmies were so numerous it was impossible to avoid stepping on them, they were...
