    intro

    howdy all. Ron Ruppel from SE Fla. (Treasure Coast, specifically) I've been into CPs for many years, but several years ago I fell out of contact with the community, and over the years my collection gradually died off. My last, a Nep x Andrewensis, passed away just last month and I've been in...

    Australian and winter growing drosera in bog

    Hi, I just finished my bog (a bit under 2 square meters and about 50cm deep), 1:1 peat and sand. Right now I have it with sarracenias and dionaeas. I'm adding some pygmies and a d. regia (does very well outdoors here) My climate is mediterranean, virtualy frost free (light frost once every...

    Name these Pygmies!

    Got a couple of pygmies that I'm not sure of the ID. This one looks like a stocky version of D. scporpioides. They are about 4cm to 5cm tall. and these I think are D. nitidula ssp allantostigma Any help would be appreciated.

    Pygmy sundew and gemmae

    This is my second year I have grown my pygmy sundew. Each year I start a new pot of them, but what happened last year is also happening this year with my parent plants. My parent pygmies are dying after making some gemmae. So I will have no where near the amount I thought I was going to have...

    Cool pics

    Well, this was my first attempt at spelling w/ pygmies. I used Drosera Nititulada x pulchella. First, I spelled my name and then I just scattered the remaining gemmea below it. I only just noticed that the extras ended up forming the "Zoro 'Z"" LOL This here is my first pygmy flower, and I...

    D.meristocaulis ***is*** a pygmy sundew!

    Hello to all, I just wanted to share with everyone the latest news about D.meristocaulis -- news which will throw open discussions about the spread of CPs and plants in general... I've just received results of DNA sequencing which puts D.meristocaulis NOT as a close relative of pygmy...

    Pics of all my pygmies

    I've never taken photos of my pygmy drosera, so I thought I'd do them all at once today. They live outdoors year round on my deck. I got almost all of these as gemmae from Tamlin, jeez, almost 2 years ago now. All of them have lived, in various rates of success, through some abuse. Oh, and some...

    D. burmanni and  d. dielsiana

    I received these plants as a substitution for plants I ordered a while ago. I do not have the space to even try to grow these types of Drosera and they are a tad difficult for me anyway. Pygmies aren't for me. I need temperate species that can remain outside in the MidWest year round. I have...

    Cp pyramid project!

    After finishing a container of chocolates, I realized the transparent pyramid shaped container would also make a great cp house; and with all the bogs and natural terrarium projects going on, why not? Below is a picture of the plan for my cp pyramid. The pyramid is a square based pyramid...

    Mystery drosera, two of them.

    The first is in a pot of miscellaneous drosera I got at a BACPS raffle. What are the big red ones? And this one is in a pot of pygmies. It clearly has a more vertical growth, and looks a lot different than the pygmies, which are D. palacea Sorry for the photos, but it's getting too dark to...
